There will always be more to do.
Always more to put on the To-Do list.
The list that seems to have more added to it that comes off.
You can’t do it all.
Your team can’t do it all.
Your business can’t do it all.
But you can do the next thing.
You can focus.
You can prioritise.
And yes … priorities will change.
To adapt to a changing landscape.
To evolving circumstances.
What was important last week may not be today.
They are your priorities.
You get to decide.
To decide what the next thing is.
Go do that.
The To-Do list will wait for you.
“Do not try to do everything. Do one thing well.” – Steve Jobs
