What would you do if you had four more hours in your day? I would give up sleep, or at least 4 hours of it if I could. Sleep deprivation is not a wise move in the pursuit of achieving more. There is a way to add more time into your day.
We all have the same twenty-four hours in a day. Subtract nine hours for sleeping and bathing and you are down to fifteen hours. Now you have to subtract commuting, getting the children off to school, and of course work. For most people the day is over before it even begins. So where do you find extra time in your day?
This may be the single most important success factor in those who achieve more than seems possible. Focus … having a single minded focus. High achievers do the most important things first and stick with it until it is done. To be clear, this is the single most important thing that leads you closer toward your goals. There is a lot of stuff that appears to be important that is really just time wasters. These are things that take up hours of your day. Be careful not to get caught up in the “busy tasks” that appear important. Ask yourself the most important question you can.
“What is the most important project I must finish today?”
Finish that project first and completely before moving on to anything else. Single minded focus is going to get you toward your dreams faster and directly.
