Kindle Notes & Highlights
The trick is people who are most productive tend to say no to things that are unimportant to them and focus on what they believe matters.
Many people confuse want to with have to. In other words, just because someone else wants you to do something doesn’t mean you have to do it. You can’t get more time, so how you spend the time you have is critical. Focusing on what matters means saying no to things that don’t matter. Otherwise, your life becomes cluttered with distractions.
