Editor's Notes
- #3: Doing multiple things at the same time will be overwhelming. There will be much to showcase but the quality of the work will be substandard. But if we focus on one thing that will help us in achieving our goal and successfully complete that will help us to grow the way we want to grow. Thats the power of less.Choose only the task that creates impact on your life and take you closer to your goal you want to achieve. To be sane, productive, effective, limit every aspect of your life.
- #4: Limitless is weak. Living without a limit is throwing a color dye in ocean and watching it dissolves to nothing. Limit is having focus on what we want to achieve, like throwing the same color dye in a gallon of water. Limitless life will be overwhelming and not very effective. Limited life will be a focused one. Benefits of limited life It simplifies thingsIt focuses on whats importantIt helps you to achieveIt shows others that your time is importantIt makes you more effective
- #5: Setting a limit means to simplify our life. But before simplification, we need to know what is essential. Before carving an elephant out of wood we need to know what an elephant looks like.
- #6: Focus is your most important tool in becoming more effectiveFocus on a goalFocus on nowFocus on the task at handFocus on the positiveMultitasking is not effective.
