Years ago I learned a very simple formula for helping me stay focused on what I truly needed to be working on. I wish I could remember where I learned this 3-step process, as I would certainly give that person a shout out right now. Anyway, suffice it to say, this is not my idea at all, but one that bears repeating.
The three keys to effectiveness are:
- Determine the most important task for now.
- Concentrate on it.
- Forget the rest.
That’s it. Sounds easy enough doesn’t it? So why do so many people struggle doing it?
It really boils down to three separate issues: setting priorities, reducing distractions, and possessing a self-management and personal organization process that ensures nothing will fall through the cracks.
These are the very skills that we teach in two of our hottest programs entitled:
“I’m Spread So Thin You Can See Through Me”
and
“My Inbox is Full and I Can’t Get Out”
