The 80/20 rule applies to careers: our most significant accomplishments result from just a few decisions or actions. How to stay focused on the essential.

At moments like these it's obvious that accomplishment simply requires defining the essence of the task and then doing it the best you can. The task itself teaches you the best way to perform it.
Now, does it seem possible that you could go about your work following this simple principle? Let's take a moment and see how you might do it.

Sometimes it's as easy as not acting on the thought, "I'd better check my email" or "I wonder if my boss has left me a voice mail." How much of what we feverishly respond to seems to take care of itself with a bit of benign neglect. It's amazing how many questions, issues, and requests take care of themselves if left alone overnight.
