Even the most productive of us can get stuck in a rut. I recently received this email from a former client Jim, who struggled with constant interruptions (don’t we all, at some point?). Jim's sales team is one of the top performing teams in his company. He's a great sales trainer, and one of the things that makes him so great is his ability [...]
Are you ready to have a fun, productive and easy end of the year? Imagine this: enjoying your family and friends, free of stress and worry, knowing that you have an easy plan in place. Doing your work without the distraction of "how will I ever get this all done?" By starting early, having a plan, and following a plan, you will set yourself [...]
Real Life Time Management Scenario #8 - “I feel that I must read newspapers before I can recycle them. I don’t put my subscription on hold when I go out of town. So then I have a ton of papers to go through when I get back, along with the new ones. I feel that I might be missing something that I should or [...]
I am super excited to attack today's time management challenge head on! The idea of being overwhelmed when starting a new project is common - and one I hear often during workshops. But, before jumping into Real Life Scenario #6 - “I have a great idea, but I don’t know where to start, and the project is floundering. I will probably give it up and just [...]
Today's scenario is near and dear to my heart! Usually I serve my clients in the virtual arena - but every so often I'll meet someone for our first session in their work space. AND - usually the first thing I notice is the "little stacks of paper" or "post-it notes" or " post-it notes, little slips of paper, and multiple notebooks" scattered on [...]
This week, I'm visiting family in sunny Florida! Since I'm away - but you are still here - I thought I'd answer a time management question. Remember - each day is a process - keep moving forward! [newsletter-sign-up-form] Dear SystemSavvy, I have so much on my mind, I feel like I’m spinning in a million directions at once. What should I do? Sincerely, [...]
Have you ever felt overwhelmed? Can you relate to any of these statements? (FYI - these are all statements I heard from my clients in the last 24 hours. My brain feels like it's spinning in a hundred directions today. When I feel overwhelmed like this, I just can't make a decision on what to do next. I'm trying to choose between 10 different [...]
Feeling overwhelmed is common - in fact I've devoted an entire month to this time management challenge on my blog. Sometimes even I, a time strategy visionary, can feel overwhelmed. Many time demands, choices, and priorities caused me to shift to scheduling my day based on deadlines - not based on importance. Rush, rush, rush, rush, rush! UGGG! (Wondering what in the world I'm [...]
Keeping with the theme this month of "Overwhelm" I'd like to offer you a "Peek Into My Brain"! One of the top challenges my clients face is feeling overwhelmed by the number of time demands in their life. When we work together in our one-on-one coaching programs, we really start to focus on prioritizing and scheduling. What is most important and how do we [...]
I'm so excited to share a guest post with you today from Mary Joyce, the Resources Queen. Can you only imagine the great insights she has when it comes to being overwhelmed - and how to avoid it?! I love when I meet new people - it opens up a whole new world of ideas, resources, and possibilities. Be sure to share the [...]
