4. when to take action
now…even if it’s small or insignificant
create a habit of taking action
the more practice you get, the more intentional you can
be about taking actions for the best & highest impact

5. why we don’t act
fear
overwhelm
analysis paralysis
boredom
lack of passion for outcome
don’t know what to do

6. big, nasty time suckers
email
lengthy phone calls
internet browsing
social media
…just add “without a purpose” on the end to make
these time suckers really offensive.

7. increase your energy
operate on the important tasks when you’re at your
highest level of energy. have none? try:
exercising
drinking water
getting sleep
doing something really fun

8. identify priorities
what’s important to you? make a list of the things you
value about your business and your lifestyle
now what things are on your plate that will help you
honor these values?
these are priorities for you…you get to choose

9. create time boxes
JD Meier is my hero. he has a great tip on being more
agile by using time boxes:
“A time box is simply a limited set of time to accomplish
a result. Think of it as how much work can you get done
in a given block of time.”

10. celebrate action
reward yourself when you do something. you’ll begin to
train you mind to enjoy action, not run away from it. my
favorite celebrations?
a mani/pedi
chocolate bundt cake
relaxing on the porch

on my Google+ page. just 1 is all you need. keep it
simple, remember?
