Today, we will put your vision & goals into action by identifying what you need to do in order to accomplish that long term vision.
In order to accomplish your greatest vision/goals, you have to focus your energy on doing a few things that truly matter, rather than spending your energy on a lot of different things.
In the book 80/20 Principle, Richard Koch talks about the "Pareto Principle" which states that in any field of endeavor, 80% of our results come from 20% of our efforts, while 20% of our results come from the remaining 80% of our efforts.
In order to do great things, we must focus all our energy on those 20% things that produce 80% results. How do we do that? Well, here is today's exercise:
๐ง๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐'๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ:
1. Grab a blank sheet of paper (not the computer or phone)
2. Set a timer for 30 minutes and turn off all distractions
3. For the next 30 minutes, write down all the things you must do in order to accomplish your Big Goal this year.
4. Rank each of these things you need to do on a scale of 1-10 on two factors:
1. The value that each of those activities create
2. Your strength in that activity
5. From that list, identify the 3 things (MVAs) that are at the intersection of
1. The greatest value created
2. Your greatest strength
6. Make sure to save this work because you will need it for future exercise.
These 3 things which are at the intersection of your "greatest strength" and "greatest value created" are what
I call your Most Valuable Activities (MVAs) or your Most Valuable Work (MVW).
Your job is to focus on these 2-3 MVAs and let go of almost everything else that is consuming your time, attention and energy.
These 3 MVAs will lead to over 80% of your overall results in life.
The fewer things you focus on in life, the higher your overall output will be. That is the power of focus.
