Business Success and Life Tip 15 Minute Increments
Business Success and Life Tip 15 Minute Increments
Knocking everything off your to-do list will never happen.
There will always be something that you might want or need to do that requires your attention. It is up to you whether that something is important enough for you to handle, delegate to others or let fall by the wayside.
To be more productive with your time and energy, prioritize the things you feel MUST be addressed each day. Be realistic. Accomplishing as many things as you can in the course of your day does not mean you have been productive. What that means is you have been BUSY.
I like the idea of focusing on 5-7 things each day which includes offline and online marketing, coaching clients, and product creation. Breaking down the time in 15 minute increments is a great way to deliberately focus your attention. You might be amazed at how much you can accomplish in 15 minutes!
15 things you can do in 15 minutes:
1. Answer a bunch of emails.
2. Return some phone calls.
3. Declutter. If you have a lot to declutter, schedule time each day to do a little bit. I just went through a stack of papers on my dining room table that accumulated over the past week and in just 15 minutes my table is clear!
4. Follow-up with some prospects.
5. Write a post on your blog.
6. Submit comments on other blogs.
7. Submit 3-5 articles to Self-Growth, Evan Carmichael.com, or EzineArticles.
8. Straighten up your workspace.
9. Do something that gives you pleasure (take a bubble bath, listen to music, play with your pet).
10. Prepare a meal.
11. Speed walk for a mile.
12. Read a chapter in a book for business or personal development.
13. Chunk a larger project down into smaller pieces to make it manageable and doable.
14. Meditate.
15. Have a networking conversation on the phone.
You might use an egg timer to monitor your time and make it a game to complete that one thing in 15 minutes. Take delight in what you accomplish in that time. Use your success as motivation for what you do next. Remember the things that energize and boost your spirit will help you to be at your best. In that way the people and things in your life that matter most will get the best of YOU.
What will you do in 15 minutes?

Lack of time is one of the biggest complaints I hear from people. They have endless to-do-lists!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
