Imagine a world where you have a manageable “to do” list.
You get to focus on the things that really matter – and really add value to your practice and your clients.
You get to go home at a reasonable hour.
When you’re home you are mentally present and engaged – without worrying about all of the undone tasks at the office.
No, this isn’t some utopian fantasy. It is actually possible.
Step #1 is your “NOT List” – also known as a Stop Doing List
It is that simple.
Your list probably has lots of stuff on it that isn’t necessary.
Things you “should” get to, or would “like” to get done.
Perhaps it’s full of other peoples’ stuff.
Your time and attention are your most important asset.
You must decide how you invest wisely.
Here’s how to start:
1) Go through your list. If it isn’t an absolutely essential activity that YOU must personally do then take it off your list.
2) If it isn’t important enough to delegate it then put it on your Stop Doing List.
3) If you’re not sure, then create a “Parking Lot” list for it to live until you decide.
P.S… Once you’ve got your stop doing list you’re going to have to say “No” to people and situations. Check out this guide on How to Say No Without Being Negative
