Narrowing down the Purpose

When you struggle to complete a task or project, often it’s because of the lack of just one question: Why are you doing it?

Take a step back and ask yourself what the purpose is of creating that flyer or developing that new service, or even why you want a website or new blog.

According to David Allen, asking such a simple question will provide these huge benefits:

1- Clarifies focus

2 – Expands your options

3 – Defines success

4 – Creates decision-making criteria

5 – Aligns resources

6 – Motivates

Seems like such a simple solution, huh? Try it and let me know how it works for you!
