>>>Planning for clarity
As we enter into the final stages of 2022, we can begin to see the sun shining and our social calendars ramp up. I had a ‘moment’ last week when I sighted the first Christmas tree for the season in a retail store. Is it just me or do you think this year has sped by quicker than preceding years? Perhaps, after close to two years in back-to-back lockdowns, Victorian businesses have packed in a heap over recent months to make up for lost time.
This last part of the year can often feel like a blur to some, with endless parties, family gatherings and catch-ups to get to, it feels like there is rarely anytime to rest!
There is still time to take control of your schedule and work it in a way that is aligned to your energy.
Aim to stay on top of your workload by revisiting your short and long-term goals, break down projects to tasks, actions and give more focus to the goals that are going to give the most leverage and impact for your business in this final quarter.
Bottomline, are your goals achievable?
Planning across specific timeframes of 3, 6 or 12 months is so powerful. It drives your daily actions by allocating a finite time period to tasks and for you to complete them on time. It also helps you to manage your workload in the most effective way providing the framework to set clear direction and clarify priorities.
How to stay aligned with your goals and get more done each day? Prioritise and allocate time for tasks to provide the framework and stay on top of your day leaving more time to say yes to social activities.
Top three ways to get more done:
Make it a habit to plan your day – allocate 5 minutes first up in the morning, or make it the last task of the day before, to map out the day.
Focus on major tasks, not minor tasks – work on the on the #1 task that is going to give you the most leverage.
Remove yourself from distractions – stay focused by turning off notifications, put your iPhone on silent, let the kids and fur babes know you are unavailable. Work in one-hour timeslots, get up and stretch in-between to readjust energy and flow before starting on the next hours task.
