Every email that comes in is an opportunity. Every Facebook article is a worthwhile read. Every free 60 page ebook is a life saver. But come on now, if you read everything you could read you would NEVER BE DONE and on top of that YOU WOULD NEVER GET TO WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT.
I’ve been a long-time advocate for short and sweet, so I always try to keep everything I share manageable and digestible in 5 minutes or less. That’s what I can do for you.
What can you do for yourself?
- Delete email articles you didn’t ask for: Just say no – Let them go
- Disregard free or low cost deals you don’t have time to use: Just say no – Let them go
- Ignore electronic chain letters and social media games – no the baby bunnies in your yard won’t turn into mutant ninja rodents and take over your life: Just say no – Let them go
- Skip networking events with people that don’t match your target market: Just say no – Let them go
- Don’t attend free webinars and classes that have nothing to do with your short-range priorities: Just say no – Let them go
If you choose to spend your time on things that just pop up and come your way you will NEVER get to the work you want to do. To be a high performer be clear on what is important and spend your time on what matters. All the rest? JUST SAY NO – LET THEM GO.
