What all of the greatest minds in the world have who have accomplished big, great things. They have clear goals. And productivity isn't about doing more, but about knowing what matters most and focusing on that. Because when you think you want, you're probably ruminating on it. You probably thought about it, maybe you've told a couple people, but you haven't been clear with a clear goal and with clear results that you're looking to create within that deadline. You're not clear because there are so many distractions in your day. And it's our job to stay focused on a clear goal. This is what great athletes, great performers, great artists do. They set clear, intentional goals with a deadline.
