Is largely about saying no to the correct things. We will never get all the things done. To do lists don’t magically disappear – there’s always more to fill them. What are you NOT doing, and why? Are you NOT doing the things that don’t actually matter? The things that delay and destroy results? The things that harm the relationships you want?
And the truth is there are still a large number of amazing things that could go on the list. So what TO do? Start with paying yourself first. Schedule time, literally, for the things that matter most to you. Might be quality time with your spouse, might be tackling a creative project, might be connecting with your team. Whatever it is, get it on the calendar and make the time and space for it. Start there, before you fill in your calendar with everything else. I’d recommend some of this time be used to consistently write and give yourself the gift of clarity.
Show me your calendar and I’ll show you your priorities. Do they reflect what you say is most important? If not, what changes do you want to make?
