Identify yourself

If you know what you want, and are comfortable with wanting it, focusing effort towards getting it will come naturally.

And don’t forget about people – you rely on them.

How you fit in with people makes all the difference in how effective you are.

Optimise

Find out where you’re wasting time. Eliminate what you can, and try to fill the remaining dead time with useful activity.

Block off time for focused effort.

Get better at doing the things you do regularly: use tools, delegate, and get more out of meetings.

Finish things

Break your work into small chunks.

Finish what you start, and hand it off to somebody in a way that allows the other person to see its value.

In some cases it becomes clear that what you’ve started isn’t worth finishing.

In such situations, cut your losses.
