Eliminating "Waste"

Waste by definition is anything that is a distraction or is not contributing to what it is meant to do! Recently as i am working on this "Reflect and Predict" home study course, i have noticed that there are so so many things that i "think" i need yet in real sense they are not contributing to the overall goal of creating the home study course.
Which led me to this question.
How do I as a creator, eliminate what is "unnecessary" and goal hindering so that i can create a better product?
I came up with 4 solutions which i have now incorporated and are working fine.
#1 Outsource what is taking too many of my resources..i.e. time and money.
#2 Have selective amnesia- Now this one takes time and practice but the brain is such a powerful organ that it will adapt to your command if you have a great desire and intention.
#3 Create a Gantt chart which sets out your specific goals and breaks them in to milestones.
#4 Force some relax time. Use violence or any unorthodox methods to get your concentration peaking up so that with time being a constraint you only concentrate on what is important!
