Do Less, Get More

There is a great Stephen Covey saying, “things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.” Dr. Covey is essentially telling us to put the most important things first. Similarly I proposed to someone today “don’t let the pursuit of more deny the achievement of less.” In the constant pursuit to do everything, and to do it quickly, we often forget to do what we really need to. This has been a challenge for me because built to do just that. I push to make things better and faster sometimes at the expense of what’s really important. I’m reminded of the whole idea “less is more” and how important it is to put first things first; get the core needs addressed and take any extra time to do a little more.
