If everyone has the same number of hours in the day, why do some people seem to get so much more done than others? How do they do more, achieve more, earn more, have more? If time is the currency of achievement, then why are some able to cash in their allotment for more chips than others?

The answer is they make getting to the heart of things the heart of their approach. They go small. Going small is ignoring all the things you could do and doing what you should do. It’s recognizing that not all things matter equally and finding the things that matter most. It’s a tighter way to connect what you do with what you want. It’s realizing that extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.

Additional quotes by Gary Keller

To-do lists inherently lack the intent of success. In fact, most to-do lists are actually just survival lists — getting you through your day and your life, but not making each day a stepping-stone for the next so that you sequentially build a successful life.
