To Get Better Results, Do Less But Do It Better

Distinguishes the vital few from the trivial many and eliminate the nonessential.

When you are doing too much at a time, you are constantly switching from one task to another, constantly interrupted, constantly distracted. Do less, clear away distractions, single-task, and get more done.

Instead of following a to-do list, make a shorter one called "success list". Why make one?

• It aims you in a specific direction
• It is an organized directive.

If your to-do list contains everything, then it’s probably taking you everywhere but where you really want to go.

Choose three Most Important Tasks for each day, and focus completely on gettting them done within a specific time.

If you add more than three, and you might not get them all done. By limiting yourself to a small number of things, you force yourself to focus only on the essential.
