On Monday, I felt busy the whole day; but when I looked back, I didn’t seem to get anything done.
Ever felt that way?
The point is I was busy; but was I being effective?
That evening I made a new commitment.
Each day, for the rest of the week, I was going to get a minimum of two things over the line. I love this expression ‘over the line’ as it makes me visualise the finish line. Completed. Finished. Done.
I even set up an accountability buddy who would push me. Thanks Vanessa.
I also reflected. Why did I let this happen?
A few minutes of thinking made me realise. Once again, I was too busy being the teacher and not spending enough time being the student.
I already have the perfect method to ensure you finish each day with at least a few items over the line. I’d even coached it at the weekend. But I hadn’t done it.
The $100,000 Idea is one of my most effective Time Management and Productivity Tools. See page 41 of How To Save An Hour Every Day https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0273745697?creativeASIN=0273745697&linkCode=w01&linkId=&ref_=as_sl_pc_ss_til&tag=wwwmichaelh03-21.
I know this. I literally wrote the book on it.
So why had I stopped doing it? Because I’m human - and humans are terribly (wonderfully?) inconsistent.
Today, one of my 5 most important things is to write this message.
Tick.
Be Brilliant!
