Just One Thing, 13 of 101

Being productive was never about being able to do more.

It’s about the courage, the real courage, to do significantly less.

‘Monday’ cannot dictate your mood.

Be greater than the label.

Practise the polite no which gets you the life affirming yes.

Sometimes the no is to others (to doing this additional project today, but certainly later this week)...

Sometimes to yourself (to Netflix until I’ve done 500 words on my novel)...

Be able to manage your mood. Great natural mood enhancers are music, walks, reflection and practising choosing to be resilient.

But how do you prioritise?

Certainly not ease, order on list, hé/she who is shouting loudest. To respond to these just causes further problems. No, prioritise vs. your Personal Compass, your personal set of priorities for Career, Relationships, Money and Well-being.

Re-set once a month and capture the actions on your daily Master List.

Plan-do-review.

Plan your working day the day before.

Do your working day.

Review your working day.

Switch from reactive to proactive.

Batch the distractions.

Start thinking not just worrying.

Just One Thing, 8 of 101

You’ve done 1? Got a Master List running?
You’ve done 4? Made sure everything on it is brain and time friendly?
Then now become the master scheduler. Review each what and decide when you will do it.

All great productivity is what and when. 
But NB1. You can do anything but you can’t do everything. 
But NB2. So how do you prioritise? Ahhh...your Personal Compass; coming soon.
