Here’s a simple way to get more done in your days.
Make a “Stop Do” list! Notice I said “Stop Do” list, not a To Do List!
Yes, If you really want to get more done in your days, create a list that includes all of the activities you need to Stop doing for better use of your time.
WARNING: You’ll quickly find that you resist making a Stop Do list. And if you find that you resist, please know that you are normal. No one else wants to face the truth about their situation either. It’s easy to keep things the same.
If you DO craft a Stop Do list, you’ll find that it doesn’t take long, And when you finish, you’ll find that the small time investment pays off because you’ll be able to see where you have specific opportunities for making improvements in the way you use time.
Here’s starter list of possible Stop Do items for you:
Phone call interruptions
Email interruptions
Drop in visitors
Ineffective delegation
Procrastination
Personal disorganization
As I said, these items are simply idea starters for you.
Once you create your Stop Do list, look it over and you’ll see that it reveals patterns of behavior that have NOT been working for you. Those patterns won’t be easy to change, so examine them carefully and begin thinking of options for better use of your time (such as prioritizing and scheduling true priorities).
Time is your most precious asset, and you’ll find you get better use of your time when you invest it in activities that lead you forward on your life’s path, rather than in the habits revealed by items on your Stop Do list — items that distract you and waste your time!
This makes sense, doesn’t it?
When you implement this, you’ll soon find out that it makes sense BIG TIME.
