I read a fascinating newsletter on success that advocates
paying attention to 10 aspects of success plus 10 sub aspects of each. That’s
100 things to focus on!! Sheesh! Not me!
And, I don’t think I’m alone in finding that we’ve already got a lot on are
brains. Yet we do want to succeed and make progress.
Want to actually achieve your goals?
Cut ’em back!
When I did my the thesis project work for my Masters degree I worked with a
board that had more than a dozen goals — and were having a hard time achieving
any of them. One of my suggestions to the board was that they focus on 2 or 3
goals max.
It’s what I work hard to do in my own life.
This morning, on my walk, I was thinking about where I needed to focus my
attention. Up popped the Big 3! The same 3 that were important 6 months ago.
So, when I made a list this morning of the steps I want to take to achieve
these goals, I listed 3 ‘objectives’.
Imagine if you focused on and did the 3 most personally important tasks on your
list. Where would you be a month from now?
