5 Things Not to Say When Trying to be Productive

1. I don't have time. You know that: make a choice about what you won't do.
2. I'm being pulled in all directions. Of course. Decide the direction which meets the 3i criteria: important (meeting a goal), investing (helping in the future) and interesting (about which you have passion).
3. I've got too much to do. That's because you keep adding to your portfolio. Adopt this principle: add one means I drop one. Anything else is not sustainable.
4. I can't find it. Do 5 minutes a day work on systems until you can always find it.
5. I'm just not organised. You didn't use to be. But how about if you drop the label and decide that you can be?
