 To Eliminate the Non-Essentials Becomes a Success Habit

Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.”

Pablo Picasso 1881 – 1973, Spanish Printer,

Sculptor, Poet, Playwright

 

As I see it . . . . . . . .

To eliminate the non-essentials becomes a success habit

 

Focus your efforts . . . . on doing the most important things in your life.

 

Invest your time and efforts . . . . in getting the most important things done in the order of their importance . . . . as you eliminate the non-essentials from your daily activities.

 

Doing what non-essential wastes your time . . . . Drains your energy . . . . and takes you down the wrong path on your success journey.

 

Focus your efforts on doing the high return essential activities . . . . that will keep you going in the right direction  . . . . The direction of  moving you in the direction of successfully achieving your goals.

 

To eliminating the non-essential becomes a success habit . . . . One of eliminating the non-essentials from your life . . . . As you do, you take control of the way you use of your time. You will also find that your time and efforts will become far more focused . . . . and will be returned to you with dividend.

This is a decluttering of the mind and soul and spirit. There's so much we can do without and there's so much we can do with so little.

Also, I think Picasso was the right guy to say something like that and bring everything to the forefront.

Good morning Lou. What an interesting quote that came from Picasso, somehow I would not have expected it to come from him. Just goes to show how much I know.

Very good habit to develop, Lou.  Though, I do have difficulty in determining what is really not essential.

Great Post, Lou.  This is very similar to the 80/20 rule where when we focus on the essential 20 % of our business it will create 80% of our desired results

  • 20% of the input creates 80% of the result

Good morning, Lou!

Focus, focus, focus.  Sometimes we tend to wander from what is important, but we then have to get back on track and focus again.  As long as we set our sights on the important, we will succeed.

Thank you for your words of wisdom.  Always enjoy them.
