So, how have you been? How's the business? I find myself asking this question a lot at networking or other meetings where I'm running into people I know. It's a pretty common greeting. Do you know what answer I get frequently? "Well, I've been pretty busy!" (or some variant of that) While we're taking a little break from the daily grind this week at the beach, I wanted to remind you that busy does not equal effective. In fact, it is a terrible measure of how things are going. The hamster is busy, and not moving an inch. In my live workshop Making Time for Success, one of the key concepts addresses the mistaken idea that time management is about efficiency. The efficient use of time is to get more done is the same amount of time. This is wrong. What you really want is the more effective use of your time...getting the right things done in the allotted time. This requires some hard decisions! Right now, how many items are on your to-do list? I want you to take an honest inventory and identify everything on that list that, if you NEVER did them, nothing adverse would happen. You are probably like a lot of people that use a lengthy to-do list as a crutch to help you feel better about not getting anything done...but you're busy! I want you to go through your list and pick the five most important things on your list. The items you pick should all take less than a day to complete (if they are bigger than one day, break them down into day-sized chunks). Now, armed with your next five moves...pick the one item that will have the greatest impact on your life if you do it today. That item is now your priority. Get that done first, then knock out the other four. Then tomorrow...rinse and repeat. This is the P+4F method at work. You can find a video explaining it in more detail on my website (link in bio). Use it and it will change your life. Keep doing what you've been doing...and you'll keep getting what you already have! Enjoy!
