Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The best way to change your focus is to increase how effective you are. Notice I didn’t say how productive you are. A lot of people obsess about productivity, which is all about getting through a lot of work in a given period of time. But you should instead focus on doing the right things.

#2 Everything you have today is the result of everything you’ve done up to this point. Everything you have in the future depends on what you do as a result of what you learn from this moment onward. So take personal responsibility and start working on your future today.

#3 If you’re not sure how you spend your time each day, install time management software on your computer. The number of hours you spend on your computer should be under 20. If your report shows you’re spending more than 60, 70, 80 or even 100 hours a week, you’re running on burnout mode.

#4 Turn off email alerts and social media notifications. The absence of these alerts will give you a sense of peace to focus on higher value tasks without being disturbed.
