 As we slowly creep in on the last quarter of the year, are you reminded of the marketing tasks you have been putting off? Whether you are a new or established business, marketing is an essential part of your success. The average consumer spends almost two hours a day surfing social media for new content. Getting the right message to your connections at the right time can be tricky, especially if you don't have the time, don't understand, or maybe don't even like marketing...

 Take ACTION! Be the director of your behavior. We all know that dreaming, planning, and discussing only gets us so far. A successful personal and professional life-plan does begin with a thought. The thought is possibly to, at long last, start paying attention to your financial numbers more carefully, hire and collaborate with more people, or strategize for a more targeted marketing and communications campaign. It begins here, but it can stop here too. In fact, these four things could be a detriment if they keep you from the one catalyst to massive action.
What is that one thing and how do other things serve as barriers?....  Do the important things first? In my last post, I told you not to worry about the most important things. I just want you to start doing ANYTHING and start crossing things off of your list. Working on feeling accomplished and creating momentum is key to getting things done. However, there are some IMPORTANT things you should do first.
Let me define important... Important is NOT that project you've been putting off; it's not checking your email to make sure you don't have any fires to put out today. Important is any activity or task that creates energy for you rather than draining it. Energy creating activities include drinking water, taking herbs, stretching, exercising, meditation, making art, journaling, brainstorming, or anything else that raises your vibration. Meeting a colleague or friend for coffee, going for a challenging hike, taking a long hot shower... These are the MOST IMPORTANT things to do first. It just takes a simple shift and a tweak.  I am an AVID reader of time management books and I am constantly researching new time management methods. Ever since I was 11-years old, I have studied this subject. My mother passed away when I was 12-years old but was sick a lot of my childhood. In order to help manage my household, I was home-schooled for grades six through 12. So, at a very young age, I had to learn how to manage a household, take care of myself, and get through school. Needless to say, I learned to be VERY disciplined. It was through the study of time management that I learned to be self-sufficient. 30 years of study has taught me a lot! Today's post is all about time management (as part of a series).
From paper day-planners to apps, there are literally dozens of time management tools to help you go from chaos to organized. But many of my colleagues and friends still report finding it hard to manage daily tasks; to truly stay organized AND have enough time left in the day for all the things. |
