"Eight Tips to Boost Your Productivity"
Most people become frustrated with days that aren't as productive
as originally intended. Put simply, we would prefer to get more
done.
In today's fast-paced, highly competitive marketplace, CEOs,
business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals are
expected to do more things, go more places and make more
decisions. Here are eight ideas on how to outwit the common
timewasters that eat away at your productivity.
* Telephone Tag: A huge time waster -- should you leave a
message, or hold when calling. Statistically, it is better to hold
up to one minute. Of course, it helps to have something else to
do, like filing, doing your expenses, or reading while you wait.
Hands free or speaker phones are a great idea. Read while you
hold. Five minutes per day = 2.5 reading days per year.
* Plan Your Day: Wake up to a purpose, not an alarm. Have you
noticed that successful people always seem to have a lot of
energy and time to do so many things? Their sense of purpose
comes in part from planning their day the night before.
You can do the same. Write down what you will accomplish the
next day. Focus on what must be done and write them down in
their priority order. Follow that list the next day and as each
priority is finished you’ll have a sense of accomplishment.
* Clean Your Desk: A messy desk is a serious problem for people
in two ways. The first is the time spent looking for things. Surveys
showed that the average person spends over three hours each
week just trying to locate something on the desk or in the files.
The second problem is the distraction caused by objects nearby,
too often interrupting your concentration on one task and causing
you to change your priorities.
So clean off your desk!
* Delegation: Every one of us can multiply our effectiveness by
delegating to others. This is essential to leveraging your time,
and helps others grow in their own skills and confidence.
It’s difficult to delegate when you feel we can do a task better
than someone else. If you resist delegating, you inhibit your
own productivity, and the growth of others. Many failed
businesses trace part of their failure to poor delegation.
* Placing Calls: “Pay me now or pay me later”, is a common
phrase that applies to many outgoing phone calls. The time
spent planning a call in advance is an excellent way to make
efficient use of the call, and make sure that all important points
are covered.
Remember to list the items based on importance and record
the response on a permanent communication log for each person.
* Self-Appointments: Make appointments with yourself! Do this
when you need time to concentrate on an important project, time
to catch up on accumulated mail, or following a vacation or
business trip. Schedule this time on your calendar, and you’ll
find that you are more focused and more efficient.
* Wasting Your Precious Time: Self-employed people often waste
precious time by doing everything themselves such as typing
invoices, packing orders, emptying wastebaskets and filing.
Your business will grow faster and more successful if you con-
centrate your time on important work and minimize time spent
on trivial tasks.
Try hiring a part-time person to do these things. Maybe someone
in the neighborhood who would like to work 10-20 hours a week,
close to home. Ask the local high school or college if they have
an intern program that fits your needs. To keep your business
thriving, find ways to spend your time on the important things.
* Count Your Successes: At the end of the day, take a few minutes
to reflect on what you’ve accomplished, and write down at least
three items you consider successes. In a world where we get
many negative messages, we need to give ourselves some
positive ones too. Remember, sometimes it feels like you’re
losing if you don’t keep score!

QUOTES To Get You Thinking
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.
Anthony J. D'Angelo:
Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great
ship.
Benjamin Franklin
If you can count your money, you don't have a billion
dollars.
J. Paul Getty
Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel.
It buys you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health;
acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty;
days of joy, but not peace or happiness.
Henrik Ibsen
He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.
Lao Tsu

Ineffective Daily Affirmations
-------------------------------
* I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring
levels of suspicion and paranoia.
* I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones
that are someone else's fault.
* I no longer need to punish, deceive, or compromise myself.
Unless, of course, I want to stay employed.
* In some cultures what I do would be considered normal.
* I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have
no personality at all.
* I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those
censorious, self-righteous people around me.
* The first step is to say nice things about myself. The
second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to find
someone to buy me nice things.
* Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves into
knots.
* Only a lack of imagination saves me from immobilizing myself
with imaginary fears.
* Does my quiet self-pity get to you or should I move up to
incessant nagging?
* Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for
there are no sweeter words than "I told you so."
* False hope is nicer than no hope at all.
* A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the
problem.
* Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day
watching TV. Instead I will move my TV into the bedroom.
* Who can I blame for my own problems? Give me just a
minute... I'll find someone.
* I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for people
I can laugh at.
* The next time the universe knocks on my door, I will pretend
I am not home.
* To have a successful relationship I must learn to make it
look like I'm giving as much as I'm getting.
