It is a well-known fact that multitasking does not increase productivity, it reduces it.

Yet so many people get hung up on the idea that the only way to get ahead is to learn more, work harder, and get more done each day.  As hard-driving entrepreneurs, it’s in our blood.  Our passion generates the effort and dedication necessary to achieve our goals.

But we often overlook 50% of the equation that dictates our performance – interference.

This concept can be applied across a number of topics – money, weight, etc. (see below):

Along with improving the “front-end” (increasing our Potential, or increasing our Income, watching what we eat), we should work equally as hard to manage the “back-end” of the equation.

Everyone can increase his/her Performance tremendously without ever learning another tip, trick, tool, or bit of information.  It is so easy to get swept up in learning the latest trend or technology that we rarely stop to ask ourselves: “Is it worth my time to implement this, or am I just adding another layer of interference?”  Tools were created to make our efforts more productive, but there comes a point where the cost outweighs the benefit.

So what are you going to do to decrease the interference in your life and improve your performance?
