Effective Executive
Need to re-asset want to focus on and need to learn new techniques to help me through this journey. So I am going to watch a few time management and effectiveness videos. Here are summaries
- Time
- Track
- Track what you are doing , so you can understand what you are spending your time
- Manage
- 1/2 days to 2 weeks of quantum of time
- Consolidate
- Track
- Contribute
- Who do you need to be to contribute
- Strength
- All strong people have peaks and valleys
- People that well rounded ,are going to end up in mediocrity
- Only exception is character and integrity you need to resolve that
- Example: Ulysses Grant and Lincoln, Grant could fight , Grant would drink
- Concentration
- There will always be more good ideas than there is time to execute them
- Stephen Covey – First things first , Second things ” not at all”
- Decisions
- they make effective decisions, they make less decisions . But they make big decisions not a ton of little decisions
- We need to have boundary conditions
- what is your routine?
Reinventing Yourself
- Victim vs Owner
- Do you own your destiny
- Styrofoam Weights
- Avoiding Challenges & Problems
- Metaphor “Styrofoam” weight
- Owners look at weights in a gym
- they are spiraling up, evolving with errors and failures
- Yes + No
- In order to get a yes, you have to get a lot of nos
- Success goes with Failures
- Yes’es goes with no
- we need embrace failure
- 10 things
- Courage comes in the act of doing something
- You can’t wait until you are doing something
- 10 things that you would do if you had no fear
- Because we do not dare, we do not do things that are difficult
- fear can be like salt in a river, take the jump and feel the exciment and the fear at the same time
- Campfire of Life
- you need to make a new campfire every day
- on the material plane, you build a chair and its there but on a spiritual plane you will need to remake it every day
What is the best version of you look like?
I am going to spend some time answering that today.
