Find what you should be doing
List all your tasks of importance on a scale from 0-100. Then question or eliminate anything that's under a 90.
When you do tasks below 90, you inevitably have to make a trade-off.

The busyness trap
High performing people are highly focused, and that leads to success. That success produces options and opportunities.
But if you are not careful, it can undermine the things that led to success in the first place. You fall into the undisciplined quest for more. Now you’re...

Write a to-do list every day
What was important yesterday, may not be important today.
Always ask:
- Who am I?
- Why am I here?
Without asking those questions, the stuff on your to-do list could be entirely wrong.

Consider what you're good at
Take the time to explore and figure out the contribution you can make. Then go big in it.
If you don't know what you're good at, use inversion. List all the things you don't like to do. Ask what you're passionate about or what you'd be interested in learning how to do.

Life advice

Being busy isn't an achievement
Just because someone is busier than you doesn't mean that they are more important.
Instead, only do what's essential. Ask yourself what your mission is? What did you come to do? Once you've identified what's essential, you won't fear FOMO. You'll start enjoying JOMO.

Not making lists
If you put something off and then forget to write down that you need to do it later, it’s possible that you could entirely forget about the first task.
If you’re a forgetful person, make a to-do list with all your tasks on it, and only cross them off when they’re 100% completed.
The Measure Of Success
"I'm a recovering perfectionist, so I ask what is the goal and what does 'good enough' look like for each task on my list. Then, I rate the importance of the task on a scale from 0 to 10, with 10 being the highest. Now, you have a measure of success and an idea of how to achieve ...

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony
This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
