Know The Most Important Thing.
Or, better still.
Focus.
We live in a world of constant noise. 99.99999999999% of which is completely useless.
And the more we pay attention to it, the less productive, useful, effective and, well, successful, our teams and businesses will be.
We need to practise the art of knowing the most important things.
Know the ten most important things.
Scrap that, know the top three.
Hold on, no. Know the MOST IMPORTANT thing.
Pioneering Zen Monk and general all round good guy, Suzuki Roshi, said:
“The most important thing is remembering the most important thing”.
What is your most important thing?
Know it.
Everything else is noise.
