What you do is infinitely
more important than how you do it.
Being busy is a form of laziness-lazy thinking and indiscriminate
action.
Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing,
and is far more unpleasant. Being selective-doing less-is the path
of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.
80/20: Recognize 20% of work, drvertisment, clients which generates 80% of success. And eliminate all other 80% of work, customers, things, etc
This presents a very curious phenomenon. There are two synergistic
approaches for increasing productivity that are inversions of
each other:
1. Limit tasks to the important to shorten work time (80/20).
2. Shorten work time to limit tasks to the important (Parkinson's
Law).
The best solution is to use both together: Identify the few critical
tasks that contribute most to income and schedule them with very
short and clear deadlines.
