Leverage = Impact / Time
Prioritize your activities based on return on investment for effort you put in. Use this as a guiding principle to determine where to spend your time.
Keep in mind 80/20 principle, look for things that produce disproportionately high impact .
Try to develop sustainable high-leverage habits, and systematically increase your leverage by:
- Reducing the time it takes to complete tasks.
- Increasing the output of tasks.
- Replacing tasks with more high-leverage ones.
