focus
“What focus means is saying ‘No’ to something that you—with every bone in your body—you think is a phenomenal idea. And you wake up thinking about it. But you say ‘No’ to it, because you’re focusing on something else.”
Quote by: Sir Jony Ive, discussing Steve Jobs .
Jonathan Yagel • 1, #102 - A hard 'No'
“This is the optionality mindset in action: the belief that the future belongs to the generalist, the jack-of-all-trades, the eternal dabbler. But it’s a lie. The future doesn’t belong to the generalist. It belongs to the obsessed.“
Shorten your to-do list by asking yourself,
"What is the worst that will happen if this does not get done?"
Eliminate all but the disasters.
—Kevin Kelly in Excellent Advice for Living
Your entire life can change in one year. Not ten. Not five. Not three. One. One year of focused, daily effort. You’re one year of focus away from people calling you lucky.
