With a little extra time, you can raise the standard from good enough to great.
Narrow the focus. Raise the standard. And set yourself apart.
Arguably the most important skill is controlling your attention. This goes beyond merely avoiding distractions. The deeper skill is finding the highest and best use for your time, given what is important to you.
