Management - Get More Done

How would you like to get more done everyday? Its not rocket science, as they say; its about daily discipline and knowing where youre going. If youre like most of us you dont think you have time for any planning. It sounds nice but get real. Well, youre the one that needs to get real and get more done.

If you want to grow and be more than you are now, youll have to do something different than what youve always been doing. Here are a few simple things you might not just try, how about doing them..

1. Where are you now and where do you want to go? Be honest about where you are today, personally and professionally and are you happy about it? If so, youre doing something right. If not, establish exactly where you want to go in a clear, specific outline that has a time limit for each. Be honest with yourself. Where are you right now; and where are you going? If you dont know who does?

2. Next, write a plan of action that will get you there: If you completed item one above you know where youre going, you know what specific steps will get you there so now you need some action? You have to actually do something each day along the way. Sure, youll make adjustments along the way but you have an outline of the big steps and the little ones now do it daily.

3. What should I do first? Once you know where youre going and the steps youll take to get there you establish priorities. That is what happens first, second, third and so forth. What needs to be done when simple to understand and difficult to do everyday.

4. How do I sort it all out? Once youve are to this point its up to you its all about focus. From here on out its about courage and discipline. You have to make it happen. The first thing to understand is that the key to your better future is you. Its up to you to insure that your habits match your dreams.

5. You must use a process: Use a planner, a to do list, a computer program, use something to keep track of your goals, make adjustments and jump back in again in the morning. It doesnt matter what tool or method you use, use what works for you, but use something. Its that simple.

6. You must use the process every single day: Who cares what method you choose, just use it! And use it each and every day. If you spend an hour on Friday night to plan next weeks most important events youll reap the benefits all week. If you spend just fifteen minutes at the end of each day to plan tomorrows activities youll reap the benefits all day. The choice is yours make it!

What if you packed up the family and headed off on a cross county trip with no map or planned destination. Even your youngest child would find that foolish. Why then, do we do it in our lives everyday? I dont know, but I do know that this what we do everyday is what we believe all the rest is just talk. What will you do now? I dont know but its up to you.
