Keeping the main thing the main thing!

A few years ago my friend Greg Gray told me that the primary focus should be to make the main thing the main thing. I finally got it. I used to have several things going on at once and I thought that it was impressive. I thought that that was just the way that I was and that I needed to have all of these things going on in my life to be productive.
Something happened with one of those things and I took some time to reflect and ask myself if I really needed to do it right now or if I should finish up the first project before I started something else. I finally realized that I should focus on the first thing alone and ride it to completion before starting something else.
