Busy Bees and Efficient Work
Do you know any of those people who never have a minute, are always running around, who stress you out just looking at them? Or worse still? Are YOU one of those people? Do you feel that you have worked yourself to exhaustion and yet you haven’t moved forward or there is still just as much to be done?
Well, people like that have huge potential. They are an asset everywhere they work because they are passionate and always want to do more and better. Unfortunately, they are not always good to themselves because they don’t know where to stop and end up overworked, overstress and eventually useless.
What these people lack is a sense of prioritizing. They know their stuff, they get things done and they do it well. But by overwhelming themselves with tasks that might not be priorities, they will spend enormous amounts of time trying to do things perfectly – because they wouldn’t settle for less – and then still have to do the really important things.
In any job, there are always things to get done. But some can wait, or some are not actually really needed. Spend a few minutes every morning, before you actually get on with work, looking through your list of tasks to do. First find the top 5 that you feel are total priority. The top 5 things that you absolutely know you cannot go home if they are not done. Then order them according to importance. DO NOT think about the other things you think you have to do. Just focus your efforts on the 5 you have chosen and get on with them. ONE at a time.
