Several years ago I had an executive client, he just didn’t seem to be able to get things done. He was into work before anyone else and stayed late. My coaching — he could not arrive before 7 a.m. or stay after 7 p.m.! I recommended boundaries for him to work within. Not only did he get more things done, he developed a relationship with his wife and kids! He was my first millionaire!
Ask yourself:
- Do you want to have more free time to do the things you love to do?
- Be part of your family’s life?
Most people would answer, “Yes!” The challenge is, you know you have a multitude of things that need to be done and don’t believe you have time to play.
Answer: Schedule it. (I know it sounds simple and it’s not always easy!)
Process:
- Write down everything that needs to be done (yes, everything!), everywhere in your life.
- Highlight the top two items.
- Schedule them, take focused action and get them done.
- Celebrate! You deserve it.
- Repeat.
Yes, it is that simple! Other benefits:
- You won’t have time to overthink things — you will actually get them done. (Remember, there are only two!)
- You’ll learn how to delegate and not be so picky! (Your employees will thank you for these new opportunities.)
- You will learn to prioritize and focus on the important things. (Not the busy-work, which doesn’t provide the results you want.)
The key: Honor your schedule!
This is a very simple process.
Remember, I did not say it would be easy.
The challenge: Do it for one week and let me know the results.
