Choosing What to Focus On
Here’s one method to help you choose what to focus on and how to use your time:
- Change how you think about your day. Working longer hours zaps you of your time and energy. Almost all consistently successful people make sleep a priority.
- Write a list of all the goals you have. Writing them down not only frees up your mind from keeping track of them but also gives you a visual representation of just how many things you want to do.
- Circle your top three goals.
- Eliminate everything else.
