This is the first thing

The road to success is focus.

When you do something, focus on what you are doing. Pick one small part, the hardest, dirtiest, most difficult part, and do it first.  Get it out of the way! Don't jump from task to task. Just do a good job on that one small part. And when that one thing sparkles, or is read, or written and everything adds up, you are finished and can go on to the next hardest part.

The same is true for everything you do. Multi tasking is highly over rated. Every additional task you add takes something away from your main goal. When you drive, drive. Know who is behind you, beside you, ahead of you. Pay attention to what you do. It isn't funny to miss things. It's dangerous.

Of course we can all multi task to some extent. Some people better than others, but all of us do things better when we put our whole attention into them. And if something is not worth our best - maybe it isn't worth doing at all.

Learn that it's okay to say no.  Sometimes it is the kindest thing to do, because resentment often follows a reluctant yes and people can sense that even if they don't realize what it is.

Focus on doing the things you love, the really necessary things and leave the rest for those people who find them more important. Being a people pleaser is a thankless job. Unless the person you are trying to please is yourself you'll fail more often than you know.

Just pay attention. Know what you can do. Do it to the best of your ability and move on. Everyone will thank you in the end. (And the ones who won't, won't be any happier with the real you anyway.)

Focus on what you love. Love what you focus on and life is so much simpler.
