When More Means Less

You start a new project and full of enthusiasm and energy. You start planning and create first tasks. Many ideas come to your head, and you try not to miss anything. Otherwise, something important could be forgotten, but you want to do the best. That is a big mistake. Almost all you think today is right tomorrow becomes arguable and may fail in a week or so. Why do you waste time for thousands of tasks today if they may lose their actuality in several weeks? So one way to get things done and to success is to learn how to say no.

It comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much.
