Warren Buffet - Increase your focus to get your perspective !
If you should take career advice from anyone, Warren Buffett would be a good man to listen to. He's considered one of the most successful investors of all time, and is consistently ranked one of the wealthiest humans alive with a cool $76.8 billion. Yes, that's billion, with a B. His advice for career success? It's all about lists.
Inside Buffet’s Brain -
According to the renowned
billionaire, your career success is waiting for you in two separate lists.
Buffett's two-list strategy for maximizing focus and achieving your goals has a
little backstory attached to it, as reported by Scott Dinsmore. The story
starts with Mike Flint, Buffett's personal pilot of 10 years. When Flint
1. Write down your 25 top
career goals. Or, for a more short-term version, jot down the 25 things you
want to achieve this year, or even this week. Got it?
2. Take a good, hard look at
what you've written. Out of those 25 items, circle your five most important
goals. The big dogs. The most urgent.
3. The items you just circled
are in list A, and the remaining stragglers are in list B. Easy enough, you just
made yourself a short list of priorities. But what about the 20-item list B?

Your List Is Way Too
Long; You Need to Cut It -
Cutting the unneeded things
from your life — negative people, bad habits, household clutter — is not too
hard. Cutting out the things you care about is what's difficult. In Buffett's
two-list strategy, you're basically eliminating 20 important career goals from
your brain. This may seem counterproductive, but if there are five more
important, more urgent items to tend too, even your other pretty crucial goals
can just serve as distractions. These items are easier to justify spending time
on; they are your goals, after all.
But if the time isn't right,
the time isn't right. All or nothing, baby. As James Clear writes for TIME,
"Spending time on secondary priorities is the reason you have 20
half-finished projects instead of five completed ones. Eliminate ruthlessly.
Force yourself to focus. Complete a task or kill it. The most dangerous
distractions are the ones you love, but that don't love you back."
