- ProjectsAny desired result that requires more than one action step to completeNo matter how big or small!(i.e. install new backyard lights)Any project that will take more than one step needs to have stakes placed in the ground to remind you there is still more to be doneNo reminder = potential for it to slip!Don’t ‘do’ a project, just the action steps(i.e. Project: Install new backyard lights, Action Step: Go to Canadian Tire to purchase lights)Reference: DA, 37, 136
- Project PlansWhen it’s time to actually do an action, like make a call, pull out these Support MaterialsWill help you in your call by providing the necessary information you will need to referenceYou will want to keep these Project plans visible for easy referenceReference: DA, 161
- Switching Gears: Does it Relate to a Meaningful Objective?Are you doing the ‘right’ things or just doing things? Easy to just ‘do’ things (i.e. answer emails, make personal calls) Need to do the ‘right’ things (i.e. solicit business during regular business hours, get client quotations out during business hours, follow-up with clients during business hours, make personal calls in the evening, answer emails once you’re done time-specific tasks such as client relations)Does it relate to a Meaningful Objective?An ultimate aim or long-term result that links to corporate or personal mission and goals statementsSomething you’re personally accountable for achieving as opposed to a shared goalReference: SM, 116-117

- Ensure a proper Work/Life BalanceWhen you review your personal and business Meaningful Objectives, focus on them collectively and ask yourself, “Do these objectives create balance for me?”Balance is different for everyone as is how they achieve balance. To achieve balance, it could be as little as taking a lunch break or setting a weekly ‘date night’ with your spouse. For others, balance could be shopping to taking a vacation.Need to think of a time in your life where you felt ‘balanced’ in terms of your work load and investment and your personal life’s engagements. This will give you a ‘goal’ to work towards and a point of reference to help you ensure you stay there!Reference: SM, 22
- Task:Using the Six-Level Model Analogy, take a quick review of your own life and record your priorities.Give 5 minutes + a bathroom break (?).
