Good Morning World Changers!
I hope everyone’s year is off to a good start. I have read several books and heard several people talk about this idea so I wanted to lay it before you and get your thoughts on it. It’s simple, it’s about controlling your time instead of others controlling it for you. As you organize your day and make your priorities look at what needs to be done, set aside a time to check emails and phone messages. I am so guilty of this, I have my outlook set to show when a new email comes in and I jump to check it. And what is it about our culture that expects that we must answer our mobile phone when someone calls? Try implementing this for a week and see how you go.
Another helpful thing to try as well is to not check personal emails until you have your first break at work. I can’t tell you how many times my day has been thrown off because I received emails and read them before I was even awake.
Stephen Covey:
Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
Peter Drucker:
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.
