Everytime we are getting close to Holidays, things are always going crazy.
On the last weeks of the year it's time to make some reality checks and I hope to try and fix the last things.
In the "time management secrets", having a clear idea of:
1) where you want to go
2) when you want to arrive
3) how to go there
4) where we should check the developments
5) which are the results you expect
is crucial to define the priorities and therefore to identify WHAT is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to do and WHEN.
Writing down, better, handwriting down your targets is generally the best thing to do.
Handwrite is something that has been forgotten but implies some activities that allow your mind to properly concentrate.
All the preparation phase, taking pencil and paper and starting from the white paper obliges you to make an effort to imagine the complete picture.
When you start writing down, you must create the story, follow the Whole process and finally read it again.
And then... you can judge if your plan is ok based on...
And then, once you have a GOOD, HANDWRITTEN, SIMPLE AND WELL DESCRIBED PLAN what will happen?
Now another point comes out. It's like in the videogames.
When you destroy a monster, the next one is always more difficult.
Impelementation is now the point.
And implementation needs:
1) TIME
2) FOCUS
3) RESILIENCE
I think, or better, I HOPE that your working life is like mine.
I start the day knowing what I should do and then routine things happen. The famous activities URGENT NOT STRATEGIC.
You can infact divide the activities in
-URGENT STRATEGIC
-URGENT NOT STRATEGIC
-NON URGENT NON STRATEGIC
-NON URGENT BUT STRATEGIC
Having said that everybody should run away from the activities non urgent non strategic and focus on the strategic ones, the urgency always wins.
And also the human nature goes that direction as the "sense of satisfaction" that you have when you solve an urgent problem is one of the things that make yourself feeling happy.
But is this what you SHOULD do?
Maybe not
But this is what everybody ask you to do... quickly please.
Now we enter into "delegation" discussions that are probably too long to be dealt here.
The real point here is that we must start saying NO.
There are even discussions on how to make it. THIS IS one of them.
This is also another link http://lifehacker.com/a-scientific-guide-to-saying-no where it is explained how and why.
This is a difficult task. Not a question to be impolite. Just a question to TIMELY AND EFFECTIVLY reach your targets.
Have a nice week end with the SANTAKLAUS running in Pedavena. Warm up!
