Few months ago while I was developing my heroes in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes I ended up in a situation where progress seems to be sluggish. I was stuck in one place and everything which I did brings forth mediocre results. It's not difficult to imagine I wasn't happy about the situation (to put it lightly) and started searching the internet what better players are doing differently. While I was reading articles and watching video clips, as if someone slapped me from behind - I got my answer: “You are trying to develop all heroes at the same time and you don’t have the resources to develop them all!” … my initial reaction was: “Well how come I didn’t see this earlier!” After a few moments of contemplation, I thought that the way I felt while developing those heroes is the same as when I’m overloaded with tasks or huge pile of materials to learn (happens all the time with datasheets and so on).
I’m perfectly sure that you’ve been in this situation, except if you’re some kind of god of course, where you don’t know which task to take first because of the huge abundance of them. This situation usually paralyzes the actions. Back to the story. I decided to check out YouTube and google for some better players who decided to share information. Luckily, I found several and decided to take actions towards their advice, to try how it will work (more on trying topic in another post). So, after watching some videos I sit down and identified the zones in which I’d like to see improvement. Then I sit down and write all the heroes which I believe were worthwhile to develop and started working on them only (at least to some decent level). I did see result very soon, about 1-2 weeks after I did this and I still keep the list to this day and refine it with every new update. Now if we turn this to our overwhelming days: work, sport, games, children, wife, dog … which one to focus on first? Well above are three steps I took to overcome this problem, you could give them a try and share your story in the comments below:
P.S. Go and google out the 80-20 rule, I intentionally added it only in the title.
Keep learning and may the Force be with you!

- Identify the zones which you’d like to improve – in other words, prioritize your life
- See what’s needed to improve those zones
- Take actions! Or like Toni Robbins says: “Massive Actions!”
