Book Review : Focal Point ( Part 2)

Did you miss the Part One ? There are many great ideas in this book, but I just wanna share the few points here. Lets explore the gist of this about. Actually it is about asking these four critical questions ;

1. What are the things you should do more?

2. What are the things you should do less?

3. What are the things you should start doing?

4. What are the things you should stop doing ?

So, how to implement this idea in our life? Pick any area of your life , eg career. The more specific , the better the result would be. Example, in  your career, let say it is about your daily job functions. Start answering the questions. 

Question 1.

These are the things that will give more value to you..if you do much / many of these things, your career sure soar! What are those things? If you do not the answers, look at the people that considered successful in that job function. What she / he  does? Copy cat them.

Question 2.

The things that you do , but you must reduce them maybe the value created not much. List them out. 

Question 3

This is about acquiring new skills, knowledge or behaviors in line with you answers for no 1 above. 

Question 4.

About getting rid of all useless activities. Eliminate them. 

To do this exercise / questions, you need to spend quiet time to reflect about ypur current situation. To relook back at your typical day. 

For a start, each question pick only 3 main answers and start doing / tracking on one of the answer first. When you start doing it, you  soon will experience the result. That what "x"  factor all about ; know  what is focal / important.

Other important questions you need to regularly ask yourself;

1. What are my highest value activities?

2. Wh am i on pay roll?

3. What is the most valuable use of my time right now?

Ask these question every moment. They will help you to focus on high value things ; the x thing!

Thanks for investing your time here. See you in next book review.
