Inner Circle of Tasks

One can't have a large number of people in one’s inner circle. By definition that is not possible. In fact, at any given point in time it is impossible to have a meaningful association with but a handful of people who are really close to you and engaged with you on an on-going basis. I'd say the number is no more than 5 at the extreme.

The same definition applies to what we are doing. A lot of things will fall off your plate that others will have to handle or will not be handled at all. You yourself can do justice only to a handful of goals at any point in time, So take a look at you tasks and projects list and split it into two parts: Current Tasks and Future Tasks. With the clutter gone, it is much simpler to manage.  Keep your current list as short as possible.
