The Power of Three

From the book Work Less, Make More, by Jennifer White:

Anyone at any time can put only focus and energy behind three things. Three projects. Three big ideas. When you really put your passion behind three things, amazing results show up. Miraculous things. You're building momentum that allows you to get results faster than you do when you're juggling a multitude of things. Momentum is the key here.

The Power of Three is the ultimate in concentration of power. The Power of Three actually frees up time. Instead of stretching you thinner, focus keeps you from overextending yourself. It allows you to give more hours to the few things that matter the most. In an overly complex world, simplicity is the key.

How to Design Your Life Around Three >>  Eliminate - Delegate - Automate

Eliminate -  It simply means DON'T DO IT. I believe at least 50 percent of what's on your list doesn't need to get done. Dump everything and anything you can. Be brutal with this. Experiment with not doing something and see if anyone notices. If they don't notice, it wasn't important.

Delegate -  You must delegate everything but your brilliance. Yes, everything. The key to delegating is you're giving the responsibility of getting something done to someone besides yourself. Delegation is about ridding yourself of your weaknesses and letting someone else handle them. Delegate - don't dump. Delegate only if you're developed a frequent reporting process. Delegate to the right person.

Automate -  In this world of ever-changing technology, it's vital for you to start using automation. Once you've eliminated everything you can, and once you've delegated everything you can, it's time to improve your systems so your computer does the work for you.
