Focus

Notes

• Don't try to do everything at once. Pick one thing to go after, then move onto the next thing.

• "If you want to have a hyper-focus on anything in life, by definition you have to neglect other things. You only have so much attention to slice and dice" - Tim Ferriss

• "Our mindstate is the first thing holding us back from getting the results we want" - Greg McKeown

• “When we focus on what we lack, we lose what we have, when we focus on what we have, we gain what we lack” - Greg McKeown
