CHAPTER 1 THE BASICS OF GETTING RESULTS
The basics of results-oriented activities are simple. If you want to get better results, you must follow these steps:
1. Prioritize every action and activity you undertake.
2. Compartmentalize everything you do in order to remain focused on the task at hand.
3. Maximize your time and energy to move toward your goals
Mastering Your Priorities
Before any organized action can be taken, you must have a list of priorities. Here's how:
1. Stop reading, take out a note card, and list the things you need to accomplish within the next three or four hours.
2. Go back through your list and put a number by each item to denote the order of importance.
3. Cut the list in half
This is hard part. There's no way you're going to do everything on your list in the time you've alloted. You aren't goign to complete some of the things, or you're going to finish them late.
