Close nonessential doors.

Close some of your open doors.
Small doors are rather easy to close. We can easily strike names off our holiday card lists or omit the tae kwon do from our daughter's string of activities. But the bigger doors (or those that seem bigger) are harder to close. These are the doors that might lead to a new career or a better job and those that are tied to our dreams. Have the courage to close some doors that are not truly important to you.

Focus on keeping only the essential doors open.
We have an irrational compulsion to keep doors open. It's just the way we're wired. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to close them.
