“You don’t need more time; you need more focus.”

Shane Parrish:

As the adage goes, if you do what everyone else does, you’ll get the same results everyone else gets. Extraordinary success requires misunderstood choices.

Bill Gates once had the radio removed from his car. When asked why, he said he didn’t want any distractions from thinking about Microsoft. This level of single-minded focus is what builds empires.

Distractions are the assassins of great work. You don’t need more time; you need more focus. Time expands when we eliminate interruptions – our attention, not the clock, ultimately limits what we can achieve.
