Success does not come from doing more, but from a relentless pursuit of less but better. If you do not prioritize your life, someone else will gladly prioritize it for you.
Acknowledge that you cannot have or do it all, making trade-offs strategic and deliberate choices rather than sacrifices.
Apply the ninety percent rule to every decision, rejecting any opportunity that does not meet extreme criteria or spark absolute certainty.
Protect your focus by mastering the graceful rejection, recognizing that every time you fail to say no to a nonessential, you say yes by default.
