![]() Today, our special guest blogger is the great Inbound Marketing and Social Media Expert, David Newman. David is the owner of Do It Marketing. More importantly, (at least to me) David is a friend and one of my trusted advisors on my MasterMind Advisory Board. And today, appropriately, he is going to show YOU how to DO IT!! How to DO the important stuff and FINISH by 3pm! (I'm not kidding) Peace, Love and Gumbo Marvin LeBlanc, LUTCF CNP I had a high-output day today after hearing my friend, personal productivity and goal achievement expert Michael Gidlewski present a seminar yesterday. By the time you're done reading this post, you will get the secrets to create your OWN high-payoff productivity burst any time you wish. But it takes more than wishing - it takes resolve and action. One hint - It is simple but not easy. Back to today. What made it so special? Imagine having a day where...
After Michael's executive workshop, I got a better handle on what my key high-payoff activities TRULY were. I then put them on my calendar in specific time slots. And the screen that was under my nose all day was my CALENDAR, not my email INBOX. Quick tips for you: 1. Plan your day - what MUST get done and WHEN? 2. Chunk your day down into blocks and assign specific tasks to those blocks - Phone calls, emails, client tasks, whatever it is YOU want to do that will move you closer to your GOALS. 3. Keep that damn calendar under your nose. All day. Make it your default screen. Hide, minimize or (gasp) close your email until "check email" pops up on your calendar. 4. Make note of COMPLETING your high-payoff activities. Check them off your task list or change their color on your calendar so you have a visual roadmap of achievement for your day. So what's the big deal? What did I get done?
** NOTE: You may have noticed that my second item was to respond to a LinkedIn request that came in via email. The reason I was able to do that was because of point #5 in this post - I did a "Money Pass" through my email inbox and the new prospect inquiry from LinkedIn QUALIFIED as a high-payoff activity so I proactively added it to my day in real-time. The short lesson is: Live Out of Your Calendar and NOT Out of Your Inbox!! p.s. For a smart support system and specific tools on HOW to do precisely that, check out my pal Marsha Egan's awesome program called INBOX DETOX.
