NOTE

Prioritizing Essential Tasks and Thinking Big for Success

To achieve success, it is crucial to break down large tasks into smaller manageable ones and focus intensively on completing each step. Establishing important priorities is key to working smarter, which involves time curation rather than time management. By discerning, picking, and prioritizing tasks, individuals can effectively manage their time and workload. Essentialism, as advocated in Greg McEwen's book 'Essentialism, The Disciplined Pursuit of Less,' emphasizes focusing on the most crucial tasks and setting priorities. It is about getting the right things done rather than accomplishing more tasks. Before delving into deep work habits, it is essential to identify and prioritize the most important tasks. Success is not solely about grand gestures but also about consistent small actions that compound over time.
