In this book the author emphasises on 3 things.

  1. Doing fewer things
    • Strive to reduce your obligations to the point where you can easily imagine accomplishing them with time to spare.
    • Leverage this reduced load to more fully embrace and advance the small number of projects that matter most.

Put in place specific rules, habits and even ploys – all directed toward minimising the number of big items that take away our attention from what we want to do.

How do you achieve doing fewer things-

Limit Missions – Any ongoing goal or service that directs your professional life.

Limit Projects – Any work-related initiative that cannot be completed in a single session.

Limit Daily Goals – work on at most one project per day.  (Meaning only one project work for the day)

“Fueled by the impatient ambition of youth, I wanted to make progress on as many things as possible at the same time” -> This is me right now!

  1. Working at a natural pace
  2. Obsess over quality
