Only 4% of All the Information You Receive is Relevant

There is so much information coming at you all the time when you are in business. I have discovered though through years of experience and practice that much of what passes for information is irrelevant and a waste of time and effort. In business, you need to focus on the really important information that enables you to achieve the very common practical tasks that need to get done. I have discovered that only 4% of what is called “information” in my business is pertinent for achieving excellence. That means that 96% of all the specialized knowledge coming at me can be ignored. Sorting out which 4% is the key to high performance. Fortunately, I’ve figured how to do that as well. I’ve had to.
