Today at a Glance:

  • The most successful people in the world achieve compounding success through incredible focus on a small number of projects and opportunities.
  • You have a personal flywheel. Before it gets spinning, saying yes will help you identify the actions that will get it moving. Once it gets spinning, saying no will help you ruthlessly prioritize the actions that accelerate its pace.
  • Use the 2-list strategy for establishing core priorities: Make a list of 25 priorities, circle the top 3-5 items on the list, mark everything else as the avoid-at-all-costs items.
  • One helpful razor for saying no: If you don't want to do something RIGHT NOW, it's probably a no.
