Episode Notes
- “Busy” does not equal “productive”.
- You shouldn’t be doing 1,000 different things.
- Business isn’t that complicated.
- Very few things are urgent. Very few things actually even need to get done.
- Figure out what your goals are for the coming 3, 6, 12 months and work your way backwards.
- Identify exactly what things need to get done to accomplish those goals.
- Chances are it’s not actually that much.
- But most people pick 10–20 things and try to do it all.
- But instead of getting a lot done…then end up getting almost nothing done.
- Pick just 1 or 2 “must do” things and focus on them.
- If you get those done, you’ll be ahead of the game.
