When Bill Gates first met Warren Buffett, their host at dinner, Gates’ mother, asked everyone around the table to identify what they believed was the single most important factor in their success through life. Gates and Buffett gave the same one-word answer: “Focus.”

Listen, read and think before you speak. It seems like many people comment before they understand the true nature of things. Many situations are complex, and you should take the time to look at the data and understand the pros/cons before forming & expressing your opinion

Turn off almost all of your phone notifications, move all social media apps off your home screen, set your phone to silent and no buzz, and use airplane mode whenever you aren’t actively using your phone on a task like search or messaging. You’ll get hours back per day.
