Most of us spend too much time multi-tasking, working with checklists and spreading ourselves too thin, then feel frustration at our lack of progress. Co-authors Gary Keller and Jay Papasan challenge us in their book to get big by thinking small. You achieve success not by working more but working less. Simply put, trying to do too much doesn’t work.
Key Takeaways:
- In just the five minutes of writing this, she’s spilled my coffee, pulled the cat’s tail, took off her pull up, took off her shirt and is generally just all over the place.
- We recently moved to a new home in the same area and finally got everything nice and settled. And then, the death knell rung. Or it felt like.
- Our house is put together but there’s garbage to sort through and things to put in storage. Plus, we’re busy. We have meetings, groups, play times and I have things I want to do on top of that.
“Prioritize those “things I want to do” once in awhile. If you use those hours to work, take breaks to stretch, do some desk exercises, treat yourself to your favorite coffee/tea/lunch.”
