同樣一天24小時,為什麼有人就是成就更多?
關鍵在「聚焦能帶動後續改變的 1 件事」,許多事會自動消失不用做!
做得更少,但成效卻更好!
待辦事項愈來愈多,怎麼樣也趕不上進度?
賣命同時做很多事,但最後卻以挫折收場?
不是你不夠拚,而是用錯了方法!
我們一天28%的工作時間都被混亂、失焦、分心偷走了。
生活愈複雜,愈要學會簡化、聚焦的能力!
作者蓋瑞‧凱勒(Gary Keller),是北美最大不動產公司董事長兼共同創辦人,也是《Inc.》雜誌年度創業家。他在不到10年的時間建立成功的事業,在準備進軍國際市場之際,瞬時工作與生活卻都處處碰壁,生活一團亂,身邊每一件事,感覺像是同時崩垮。
在人生的谷底,凱勒找來一位生涯教練,
體會出「專注心力優先做好最關鍵的一件事情」的力量,人生從此不同。
作者在書中分享他最重要的學習──如何持續聚焦「能帶動後續改變的1件事」。
每個卡關的人都應該先認真自問:
「我先做了哪一件事之後,其他每件事就會變得比較容易,或者不必做?」
專注所有心力把那件事做好,許多事自然迎刃而解。
打破追求成就最常見的六大迷思,就能夠抱持工作減法習慣:
每件事都重要:平等是個謊言,從80/20法則著手,找出少數中最重要少數來做。
同時多功效率高:多工者心思雜亂,同時做很多事,只是有機會一次搞砸更多事。
嚴以律己:光有紀律不會成功。成功是養成做對事情的習慣。
只要有堅持的意志,就會成功:意志力是有限資源,很快就會消耗光。
追求工作與生活平衡:工作生活平衡是迷思。要聚焦,就不可能維持平衡 。
眼高就是壞:想大事、放眼高處、大膽行動,可以擴張生活、成就更多。
聚焦關鍵的 1 件事,打破阻隔成功的6項迷思,做得更少,成效卻更好。
成功,本來就不是把每件事都做到完美!
