Until my ONE thing is done, everything else is a distraction.
Your work life is divided into two distinct areas - what matters most and everything else. You will have to take what matters to the extremes and be okay with what happens to the rest. Professional success requires it.
Success is sequential, not simultaneous
A different result requires doing something different.
Find the lead domino, and whack away at it until it falls.
All great achievements are the result of sustained focus over time-all of them.
