Advice for common problems
Instructions
-
If you fail to hit a goal…
- Create a similar but bigger and more exciting goal with a new, appropriate timeline.
Don't reset the same goal. Don't back off to a less ambitious goal. Failure is part of success. -
If you procrastinate…
- Keep controlling, setting and addressing your priorities.
Be honest with yourself.
- Always do first what you want to do least. -
To sell to super-busy, time-efficient people…
- Speak to their self-interest. -
If you are indecisive…
- Make a decision, clearly enunciate it, and stand up for it.
The more decisions you make and the faster you make them, the more productive you are. -
If you lose control of your time…
- Organize your next day the evening before.
The minute you get diverted to dealing with somebody else's priorities at expense of your own, you're done.
