I recently received this email from a contact of mine, and a few of his tips really stung. I know I’m guilty of not following these priorities all the time, and I know not doing it doesn’t serve me. I thought I’d pass it on-maybe you’ll get a bit stung, too, but it’s good for you!

A friend and I were talking recently about time management and prioritization. I told him that for me, the key to getting things done is to know the single most important thing I must do that day and to do it first. That way, it is impossible to get to the end of the day and say, “I did not get anything done.”

My friend looked at me and said, “That’s called swallowing the Read More...

Have you ever found yourself thinking about work when you were supposed to be enjoying time with your family… or thinking about your plans for the evening during your work day?  Nearly every day, I hear someone tell me they wished there were more hours in the day or that they feel overwhelmed with too many things happening at once.

 There are two questions, if you get in the habit of asking yourself and then give yourself an honest answer, that can immediately help you become more effective.

1. “Is what I am doing right now moving me closer to my goals?” 
   By stopping and asking yourself that simple question, you will quickly be able to Read More...

With 2009 right around the corner, many of you are starting to set resolutions or goals for the New Year. You probably have a long list of things you want to accomplish. Perhaps getting to the gym three times a week, taking a two week vacation, setting and sticking to a weekly budget, learn a new hobby, cooking and eating healthier each night for dinner, but you might be thinking to yourself, “Do I really have the time to make these resolutions a reality?”

We all know people, who seem to do everything, but how do they fit it in with work, family and other commitments? Did this just happen? Are they lucky? No, they are intentional with their long term planning.

As you’re coming into full swing the holidays, this article is guaranteed to take some of the stress out of the holidays and help you kick off the New Year with harmony in all areas of your life.

A great first step is to simply take some quiet time for yourself and come up with you priority list. Things that are meaningful to you. Go to lunch by yourself, or at least get to a place that you will be uninterrupted for a half hour or more and think about the things that want and need to do as you wrap up the New Year. I call this creating your “wish list.” Amidst all the craziness of your days, I realize this might seem unrealistic. But more likely than not there are Read More...

If you are like me you have had a love/hate relationship with your Snooze Bar over the years. There are some mornings where there is nothing sweeter than hitting the button, and driftily falling back into your pillow with a soft thump and there are other mornings where you pound on the button, feeling as though it is some overly intense drill sergeant who is screaming at you to wake up “earlier than you really NEED to”.

The one thing that I know about the Snooze button is that it hasn’t ever helped me hit my goals. Now, I’m not saying that it has been the reason I’ve missed my goals either BUT I (like many of us) am on “high alert”, “all hands on deck”, Read More...

Tick, tick, tick, tick . . . . that’s the sound of time slipping away, the loss of productivity, the retreat from your goal of peak performance.

It’s the sound of your most thorny problem: procrastination.

There are many misconceptions about procrastination, perhaps the greatest of which is viewing it as some sort of disease, an intractable illness that just won’t go Read More...

How many times have you said, “I don’t have the time…..” or “I wish there were more hours in the day.”

The truth is, we are each in the position of being in control of setting our schedules, our priorities, our budgets, our relationships, and our thoughts, and yet many people relinquish that authority to chance. An old adage says that, “people plan to fail by failing to plan.”

In my speaking engagements, I often ask people what is their favorite thing to do. I am consistently surprised by the Read More...
