Busy vs Effective

Let’s face it we are all guilty of being busy. Constantly moving from one task to another but never really accomplishing anything. Busy just fills time, effective gets things accomplished.

I have talked about planning your day and working your plan in the past. Recently while reading an excellent book called The Ultimate Sales Machine, the author Chet Holmes talked about a simple yet effective strategy of touching something once. What this basically means if you are going through your email for example and the note requires action, do it right away and then move on to the next task. No more piling things up for odd chance that you will complete it later.

It is small but effective strategies like this that will allow you to accomplish more in your days, weeks and years. Don’t fill your day with busy work and activities that don’t move the needle. Start a task, finish said task then move on to the next one.

Today I am thankful for the sound of the rain over night, the dirt that it washes away and green that is brings especially this time of the year.

“If the ladder is not leaning up against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.” Stephen Covey
