I enjoy getting James Clear’s 3-2-1 Newsletter each week. It’s pithy, and always helps me see a situation or topic in a new light.
Today I came across one of last year’s editions, and this ‘Three steps to exceptional results’ stood out to me:
1) Do less. Stop dividing your attention.
2) Do it right now. Once you have identified the essential, go fast. Maintain a bias toward action.
3) Do it the right way. Acting quickly doesn’t mean acting carelessly. Get to work right away, but keep working on it until it’s right.
I like how each point builds upon the last, and how the steps become more impactful when executed sequentially.
Fewer things. Start now. And take great care to do it right.
