Everyone struggles with Focus. I have for years and years.

Any shinny object that crossed my path was put on the to-do list and I thought that the secret was to 'get organized' or 'stay focused.'

It isn't!

What changed for me was the book Essentialism by Greg McKeown.

"The way of the Essentialist rejects the idea that we can fit it all in. Instead, it requires us to grapple with real trade-offs and make tough decisions."

Instead of adding more to my list and working weekends to get 'caught up' only to fall behind again the next week; here's what I should have done instead:

Recognizing Trade Offs

Saying "yes" to something requires you saying "no" to several others.

Instead of asking "How can I do it all?" ask "What can I go BIG on?"

What does your "highest point of contribution lie?"
