Procrastinate on Purpose Quotes

“You were put here on earth to do something that no one else can do. It is yours and yours alone to complete. It requires you to be your highest self and if you don’t do that thing, you are going to inhibit those around you from doing theirs. As a Multiplier, it is your obligation to spend time on things today that create more opportunity for those around you tomorrow. It is to do the things that are right, not only for now, but for the future.”

“realize all the things you are doing that are not taking you where you really want to go. It will help you see all the things you are doing that are not helping you create the results you want in your life. Those things will become more and more obvious to you, and once you get to that point, you will most likely have another powerful insight: Until you accomplish your next most Significant priority, everything else is a distraction. That brings us to the critical question you have to always be asking yourself: “Is what I’m doing right now the next most Significant use of my time?” Is it the thing that is moving you toward creating the best results? Is it the thing that is moving you toward making your greatest contribution? Is it the thing that is moving you toward making the impact you want to make?”

“Part of the process that we’ve used to help us eliminate unnecessary meetings and unnecessary attendance is a rigorous dogma to ‘codify and communicate.’ That means we really limit who are the ‘Need to Be-ers’ that truly must be in the meetings to make the decisions, and then we consistently practice reducing our decisions to concise writing that is then e-mailed out to the ‘Need to Know-ers.’ There may be ninety people who ‘need to know’ but only three people who ‘need to be’ [in the meeting]. So we get the three people in a room, discuss the issues, make a decision and then communicate—in written form—the decisions that were made to all of the people that really need to know. Think how much time that saves to focus on serving our customers! Not to mention the rate at which having fewer people in the room speeds up our decisions. The decision-making process slows down dramatically proportionate to the number of people in the room.”
