Are you always racing to the finish line?
I recently worked with the owner of a PR firm who was extremely overwhelmed. After our initial consult, she recognized that her biggest obstacle was the way she spends her time. She reported that she had been consistently working weekends, but she knew she wouldn’t have to do that if she could just use her time more efficiently.
This client discovered that though she had a lot on her plate, it was not the typical case of having more to do than time to do it.
When asked what kind of change she was seeking, her reply was “I don’t want to always be racing to the finish line.”
It’s very common to survive your workday, day in and out, squeezing things in at the last minute, without a master plan for the day – or the weeks. But just because it’s common, doesn’t mean that it’s actually a recommended approach.
Try this: invest ten minutes at the start of your day to identify 3 top priorities to accomplish. This small investment will save you hours later on. I’ve seen this one habit make such a difference in entrepreneurs’ lives! This is an excellent way to keep better control of your day and duties, without feeling like it’s all getting crammed in at the last minute.
Adopt this habit for just one week and I predict you’ll no longer have to race for the finish line every time!
