🎯 By concentrating on the most critical tasks, you enhance productivity and timely completion of those tasks. So stop thinking that you can be working on 10 things at the same time if you want to deliver good results. 🤯 I am so often overwhelmed by what I want to accomplish and then I think about the line “ how do you eat an elephant? - One piece at a time” and I snapp into thinking about my project I need to finish and start doing one thing at a time. I am not 100% successful but that is just fine. I just remind myself when I get off track to go back and continue.
