Here’s a list of things that I’m moving off my plate focus on making progress on my biggest goals:

• I’m checking the news only once a day, for 30 minutes.
• I’m saying no to networking requests. I love meeting people, but I need the calendar space.
• I’m saying no to “coffee,” even with “business friends.” I love you, but I got work to do.
• I’m saying no to content collaborations with peers – unless it’s meeting one of my key goals, I have to pass.
• I’m letting my team triage my email box, website leads, and inbound requests.
• I’ve found a tool that lets me send emails without opening my email client (the inbox is too distracting.)
• I’ve found a tool to post to my social channels without seeing my timeline. (The timeline is too distracting.)
• I’m block scheduling my time so that I don’t wander off of this plan!

To make more progress, I need more focus. What are you willing to give up, shut down, or minimize to make more progress on your biggest goals?
