Focus on results, not just activity from "summary" of The 12 Week Year Field Guide by Brian P. Moran,Michael Lennington
The key to achieving extraordinary results is to focus on outcomes rather than simply going through the motions. It's easy to get caught up in busywork and feel like you're being productive, but if you're not working towards a specific goal, all that activity is essentially meaningless. Instead of just doing things for the sake of doing them, you need to ask yourself what the end result will be. When you shift your focus from activity to results, you become more intentional about how you spend your time. You start to prioritize tasks that will actually move the needle and make a difference in the long run. This doesn't mean that you should stop being busy altogether – it just means that you should be strategic about where you direct your energy. By concentrating on outcomes, you create a sense of purpose and direction in your work. You establish clear objectives that you can measure your progress against, which helps you stay motivated and on track. When you have a specific target in mind, you're more likely to stay focused and avoid distractions that might derail your efforts. It's important to remember that results are what ultimately matter – not how many hours you put in or how many tasks you check off your to-do list. It's about achieving the goals you set for yourself and making meaningful progress towards them. When you adopt a results-oriented mindset, you become more efficient and effective in your work, leading to greater success in the long term. So, the next time you find yourself getting caught up in busywork, take a step back and ask yourself: what am I trying to accomplish here? By keeping your eye on the prize and focusing on results, you'll be able to achieve more in less time and with greater impact.
