Things We Learned from Jay Papasan

Success is consequential
Ask yourself this one important question: "What's the 1 thing you can do such that doing it everything else will be easy, unnecessary and not needed? Listen to yourself and go with your first answer (trust yourself)
After asking yourself this 1 question, take these 3 steps:
1. Figure out the activity to do that would make the biggest impact
2. Time block an appointment with yourself to do this work (get the when and where)
3. Protect your calendar (say no to the world, don't let the outside world dictate your focus)
Ask yourself this important question, 'Does my calendar match my intentions'?
