The end of January already!
8.5% of 2010 gone, much of it disrupted by the big freeze.
Do you still feel snowed under, trying to restore the clarity of this year’s priorities?
Are YOUR plans and ambitions on target, or do you need to find ways to regain lost ground?
Here’s some tips from our experience in coaching top Executives :
- review TODAY’S priorities against your original targets : are they aligned?
- take your action list and try putting someone else’s initials against everyone of them
- keep your action lists for a month and reread them; see in a month’s time what were real priorities and what were illusions
- recognize what would happen if a personal crisis took you out for a week; who would take over your tasks? Which would just not be needed? Reprioritise your list this way anyway.
- when you’re asked to accept a new task, reply with ‘am I the best person to do this for you at the moment. Has someone else got the skills, knowledge and time you need to get it done by your deadline?’
