Goals – Power of Clarity and Simplicity• Get crystal clear on what you really want and why -- name it and claim it!

• Only establish goals and action plans for important wants – don’t major in minor things

• Set priorities among competing demands – use discrimination

• Stop wasting time and energy on low-priority, low-value activities – remove clutter and distractions – use discipline

• Concentrate focus, energy and efforts on high-priority, high-value activities – those that move you closer to your vision

• Bottom line, with clarity of focus, you can do less and achieve more. You are tackling the right things -- effectiveness.
