Are You Where You Want To Be - Did You Expect More At This Point?
I am a strong supporter of setting a weekly schedule.
If you are in business you need to grasp and ensure that you do this as well.
In this busy, busy world you arrive in the office on Monday morning and the next thing you know its Friday afternoon and then you are wondering what did I really accomplish this week?
Sure its one thing to feel good about yourself because you were so busy today.
I ask however, did you really get the right things done? Did you get enough of them done?
There will always be more things to do than there is time to do them.
There is never enough time!
Get used to that idea because that statement will follow you around the rest of your career.
The best way to handle it is a routine.
Follow it every day, every week, every month as best as you can.
Sure, there are life's emergencies or the new client walking through the door that will mess up your schedule. That's OK. Just do the best you can! Always try to master your time and your schedule as best you can.
You are the Master so its mandatory you act like the Master!
I leave a little wiggle room in my schedule and will have it actually blocked in just like I do my Tasks. If nothing is needed during wiggle time and there are no emergencies then I just head over and work on the next important Task. That will help make up for the unexpected things that pop up in your busy life.
The important part is that this is directly tied to your Goals and the Tasks required to meet your Goals.
For example take your Top Six Tasks that you need to complete. These better be directly related to making income. Now take the Top Three of these and schedule them in for this week.
Make them a priority in your schedule. Be so disciplined about getting them done and when exactly that you will work on them... that you can not fail!
If you are intentional about the things that you need to do in your life you will make things happen. You can change the things in life that you want to change! BE INTENTIONAL!
Trust me you will feel much better about yourself. You will accomplished a great deal.
The best part is that you will continually be moving yourself towards your goals and dreams. You will be improving your business, your life and your income. You will become successful faster.
Here's a Link to a great article by Brian Buffini on this very topic.
