Leverage is what separates busy people from effective people.

A small, well-aimed push can move a massive load. It’s true with a crowbar, and it’s true in our work. I think that it was Tim Ferris that asked “What would this look like if this was easy?”

Most people try to get ahead by adding effort. The real gains come from finding the few spots where a small change multiplies everything. Such as using computer aided workflows to handle the routine stuff or seeing an existing task from a different perspective that removes hours of drag every week.

Leverage isn’t about doing more. It’s about aiming better. It is about working smarter, not harder.

If you want more impact without adding more hours, start hunting for those tiny pressure points that move the big pieces.
