HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION
Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses.
Last Monday’s podcast was about LOVE! No, not the four-letter word about romance and sex. But about what you do for a living and making sure you LOVE what you do. Or figuring out what parts of what you do, that you do you love.
We don’t all love every aspect of our job or business tasks, but it’s definitely something to look into. Especially when you’re constantly saying, “I don’t have enough time in the day” or “I’m not getting to do what I LOVE” (because of all the shit I have to do!)
Learning to delegate, identify what is and is NOT a good use of your time, telling people NO (boundaries) and understanding WHY you feel like you “have to” do something… sometimes EVERYthing!
Figuring all of this out helps you FIND MORE TIME!
Listen in today as that’s what I talk about today! Time Management is such a mystery to many. In my men’s BIZ XL group last week, they all seem to be struggling with “finding more time to get it all done”. One attendee asked, “Is this a guy-issue?” I laughed and said OH NO, it’s a “people issue”! And honestly it doesn’t matter if you own your own business or have a job, at some point we’ve all struggled with “finding more hours in the day”.
I’ve heard many people say, “Oh I get it all done by MULTI-TASKING! Uh, no you’re not! If you’re multi-tasking, you’re half-assing SOMETHING! You can’t do it ALL… WELL.
Time management: The mystery. The “Pot of Gold” at the end of the rainbow!
We all desire it [more hours in the day that is], but we never seem to be able to FIND it!
Listen in as I share some thoughts about an article in Forbes®: The 4 D’s of Time Management. Do, Defer, Delegate and Delete. Which is great as tasks come AT you!
[I’ll share the article in one of my posts this week, so hopefully you’re following me!!]
Think about – VISUALIZE – what it would feel like to have a day where you felt productive. You got a ton of things done. You “clocked out for the day” feeling GREAT!
[I take you through a visualization exercise in the podcast!]
How can YOU CREATE that day?
Yes, shit’s going to go sideways. Life happens. Clients and bosses demand. Co-workers get chatty. Traffic. Weather. Bullshit. But you don’t have to allow that to be your day, EVERY day.
To have the most productive days, you need to make sure you:
1. Organize
2. PRIORITIZE
3. Visualize… the best outcome
Listen in and then please share your tip on how you save time or find more hours in the day!
Cheers!
