Tip #4 for Getting On Top and Staying On Top

from The Accountability Minute:Business Acceleration|Productivity · host Anne Bachrach

Tip #4 for Getting On Top and Staying On Top  Today we are talking about Tip #4 for doing your best, so you can get on top and stay on top, which is to Focus on Individual Tasks. Doing your very best can be extremely overwhelming if you look at everything at once, which is why breaking your day down into smaller tasks can really help you. Instead of looking at your entire day, first just think about getting to work and making those revenue generation calls (the ones you may not like making but are critical to your success). Focus first and foremost on the highest payoff activities that will put you in the most advantageous position to achieve your goals. Then you can do your lower payoff activities during what I call, ‘non-prime time’. You still have to do them, if you can’t delegate them, but they aren’t as important. This could be something like cleaning up your workspace. It helps you be more effective when your space is organized but it doesn’t directly generate revenue to you and your firm. Then think about those payroll forms that you have to go over. Then work on the plans for the expansion. Whatever you do, work to break larger tasks into smaller, bite-sized activities… and it will be much easier to get them all done.  When you are laser-focused on individual tasks, turn off your phone, shut down your email so you don’t hear it ding, close your office door, and do everything you can to reduce any distractions or interruptions that could cause you to get off track.  It is in your best interest to focus on each task that comes up and reduce any possible distractions.   Tune in tomorrow for Tip #5 for doing your best, so you can get on top and stay on top. Put an end to the procrastination cycle and make progress on your goals with my complimentary Guide to Stopping Procrastination!
