Start with the most important thing

Or things, and work backward from there. Don’t do the unimportant and hope doing enough of it will finally make room for the essential.

Unimportant work begets more unimportant work. Time well-spent begets time well-spent.

Design your life backward from a year, month, or day from now with what is most valuable to you as the priority. It might feel uncomfortable for some old stuff to fall away. And that’s how you know you’re growing.
