Episode notes
Busy Doesn’t Mean Productive
- Being busy with many tasks doesn't equal making progress toward major goals.
- Productive people focus on priorities and handle critical tasks first with no distractions.
Begin With Your Highest Priority
- Start your day with your top priority and avoid interruptions until it's done.
- Block emails, texts, and lesser tasks until the highest priority is complete.
Less Leads To More Clarity
- Saying yes to everything fills your schedule with low-value tasks that derail goals.
- Eliminating less important commitments brings clarity and more productive creation.
