Day 224 – Coordination of Effort

It occurs to me that one of the primary reasons why waking up every morning and contemplating what is important to you is so effective is due to coordination.

When you haphazardly go through life with a vague sense of what you are “supposed” to do, you waste an incredible amount of time.

When you deliberately remind yourself of what is important and then commit to focus on them each day you are effectively choosing to no longer allow the urgent yet unimportant to control your life.

Having a reminder and then a commitment to focus on the vitally important yet non urgent things in your life, starts to have the effect of coordinating your efforts.

This is a subtle difference but profoundly impactful when considering the cumulative total of several days, weeks, months in a row of focus. Each day as you decide to focus on a 365 item, or to combine a mundane task with an important one you are making improvements toward your real ambitions.

Coordination of your efforts, cumulative over time is very powerful. It is like compounding interest, eventually it becomes so large that it is incredibly profitable to you.
