Do Less - Then Obsess

1) Do Less - Then Obsess

By using a variation on a classic scientific principle. "Occam's Razor" says the simplest answer is often the best. So start ruthlessly cutting all the activities in your workday that aren't producing value.

Ask: How many tasks can I remove, given what I must do to excel? Remember: As few as you can, as many as you must.

Reduce the number of activities you perform - and reallocate that time to intensity.
