People ask me all the time how I get so much accomplished. It does seem that I have always had a lot of balls in the air,
so I’m used to it. But in reality, my answer to that question includes the
following: I’m very organized, focused, and consistent; I use SMART goals; and
I’ve learned to delegate and say ‘no’.
There is also a
practice called the 80/20 rule. It’s a good practice to implement if you are
struggling. It helps you to focus on the most important things.
