Keep On Track When Summer's Calling

More Distractions Doesn't Mean Less Work   Summer brings fun and distraction to workdays.  As a business owner, it's important to find a way to maximize your work time so you can get more out of your playtime.    Mary Gaul, our productivity guru, shares her method for keeping focused even when stress is high. " if you find your brain just kind of spinning out of control, you're trying to work on a project and you just keep spinning and, and you know, you are having a hard time focusing. So the first thing is just to take a deep breath. The second thing I love to do is just keep a little brain dump sheet beside where you're working."  Being mindful in all situations is a skill that comes in handy for small business owners. Get yourself a braindump journal and give Mary's advice a try next time you find the distractions of life calling. Connect with Mary
