Want to succeed? Do one thing at a time!!

Still want to succeed? I hope so. Let me ask you: it is a WANT or a WISH? There is a major difference, you know.

Want to succeed? Do one thing at a time!!

Let´s start thinking that you REALLY WANT TO SUCCEED, and you have made a plan.

It´s common in entrepreneurs to feel somewhat overwhelmed of tasks. Lots of things to do to set up a business. And many of them use their best energies in doing all of them at the same time.

This is a big mistake that can lead to big fails, if not also to feel burned out.

Doing many different things at a time, instead of benefiting productivity, it can turn into a big cost. When you switch away from a primary task to do a secondary one you split your attention and your energies, and probably will do the primary task in more time (around a 25%, as a Harvard study says) and also could risk the quality of your work.

It is commonly said:

The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at a time

Get focused and use your best energies to get your job done. Do one thing at a time, and you will get it well done (and probably in a faster way).

Focusing on doing one thing well at a time will get you further than anything else.
