Why Doing Less Is More... Much More

Recently, I began the process of visualizing myself just after
achieving one goal I set daily, then writing down the steps to
get there.

This exercise has made me incredibly focused and has allowed me
to focus on the really important things that I would normally put
off--like preparing for a workshop that is four weeks away.

What I used to do was make a list of all the things I intended to
do during a day (if I got around to it) and then doing them as
fast as possible.

I'd get a lot of little things done and would feel rushed to
complete all the items on my list instead of spending a lot of
quality time working on the most important goal.

One item on such a list might be "prepare materials for workshop"
but with no specific steps to achieving the goal it was hard to
get going and also hard to focus long enough to do a quality job.

I'd end up doing things over again later when the time pressure I
was putting on myself was off.

But now that I set just one daily goal and write out the steps to
achieve it I end up doing a high quality job on the most
important thing I could be doing all day.

And in between the steps to achieving my goal I get all the
little things done on my To Do list.

So everything still gets done and I have a real sense of
accomplishment by the end of the day.

This is one of the many benefits I've gained from Dr. Maltz's
teachings in Psycho-Cybernetics.

If you want the same results I urge you to purchase his book,
read it and most importantly do the exercises as if your life
depended on it.
