Ask Yourself What You Should Stop Doing Instead
Summary
- One habit of highly effective companies and CEOs is the practice of pruning. This means cutting out tasks and activities that don't help the company move in the right direction.
- If you're in a leadership role, it's important to regularly review and stop doing things that are no longer useful for the company's goals.
- Every time we get clearer about our business goals, we must also identify which of our current habits and activities don't contribute to these goals and reduce our focus on them.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing the practice of pruning in your business or personal growth strategy. This means you should take a close look at your daily tasks and activities. Ask yourself: "Is this helping me or my company move in the right direction towards our goals?" If not, it's time to cut it out.
A good way of doing this is by setting aside time every month to review your goals and activities. Make sure everything you do adds value to your business or personal growth. If something isn't useful, stop doing it. This will help you focus on activities that truly matter and improve your effectiveness.
To get started, try this:
- Make a list of all your regular tasks and activities.
- Next to each task, write down how it helps you reach your business or personal goals.
- If you can't find a good reason for a task, consider reducing the time you spend on it or eliminate it completely.
Remember, every time you get clearer about your goals, you also need to adjust your habits and activities. This will ensure that all your effort is pushing you in the right direction. Keep it simple and focus on the things that have the biggest impact with the least expenditure of time and money. By pruning the unnecessary, you'll have more resources to invest in what truly matters.
