I was also shocked when I read this line in the book.īy this, Gary discussed that discipline isn’t required all the time. It’s one of the most prevalent myths of our culture: self-discipline. Narrow it down and find the one thing that has the potential to change your life.įind the one thing that would drive your day.įind what matters the most from all the things that matter.Īnd dedicate yourself to that thing. When you figure out what your 20 percent is, don’t settle. Gary asks you to go extreme and beyond the Pareto principle. Extreme ParetoĪccording to the Pareto principle, 20 percent of tasks contribute to 80 percent of results. On top of that, when you do too much, you get stressed and lose your ability to think clearly.ĭon’t be busy, be productive instead. The more you have on the table, the more confused you become.Ī confused and distracted mind lacks focus, which is essential in achieving extraordinary results. To-do lists are more extended, unorganized, and lack focus, while the success list is shorter, concentrated, and highly organized. Ruthlessly remove all things that don’t have the potential to drive your day.įocus on the most important thing right now. Turn your To-do-list into a success list. In fact, by being busy, you lose focus and undermine the level of success you can achieve. You must be crystal clear about what is the most important thing right now that can drive your day.īeing busy might give you a sense of achievement, but it doesn’t provide an easy path to results. You might have to-do lists, spreadsheets, or deadlines to catch up to.Īll those things won’t move the needle unless you have a clear sense of priority. Just as cluttering your mind with thoughts doesn’t necessarily make you a better thinker, doing many things with lost focus doesn’t make you any productive. To them, taking a break is a waste of time.īut certainly, it isn’t the most productive approach. They consume every moment of their life doing something.
Many people believe that if you are not doing something, you are missing out on opportunities.Ĭonsequently, such people are always in a rush. The only thing worth remembering is that the domino effect won’t occur unless you focus on one thing at a time. Then those accomplished goals help you achieve bigger goals.Įventually, the energy produced by your dominoes becomes so big that you become capable of achieving extraordinary results.
Likewise, success isn’t a one-time thing.įirst, you achieve little goals. This is how the Domino effect works in real life.
