Highly Productive People Ask Themselves This 1 Question
How to ensure you’re focused on what matters most.
Many people define productivity as putting in the hours, doing the work or simply showing up. Although being productive is not so much about the work you do but rather the results you produce.
Many times, the people who are doing the most aren’t the ones who are achieving the most. They’re often more focused on the number of hours they’re “putting in” than what they’re actually doing with those hours.
Hence, Benjamin P. Hardy has said,
“Success isn’t that difficult; it merely involves taking twenty steps in a singular direction. Most people take one step in twenty directions.”
Taking one step in twenty directions is a clear sign you don’t really know what you’re doing or where you’re going. When you don’t know where you’re going, everything can begin to feel urgent and important.
When everything feels urgent and important, you end up getting pulled in every direction and wind up doing figure 8’s — which never actually moves you any closer to success.
