Have you ever wondered why short basketball players tend to be better shooters than tall ones?
It isn’t that they’re inherently less skilled. Tall players actually
have a physical disadvantage in this area. Tall bodies means long arms
and long legs. When shooting this translates into more motion. More
motion means more can go wrong. Small errors are magnified. The result
is less accurate shots.
This concept applies to everything. If you want to be more productive, eliminate unnecessary motion.
Think of your work process. Every single day is filled with hundreds
or thousands of actions. How many of these actions are really
necessary? How many could be avoided? How many distractions could be
eliminated?
Avoiding unnecessary actions gives you more time to focus on the
tasks that really matters, the tasks that lead to happiness and success.
The key to being more productive isn’t doing more. It’s doing less, better.
