I am entrepreneur and constantly find myself distracted or overwhelmed by tasks. How do I prioritize tasks and keep procrastination at bay?
Here's the first question - how carefully do you keep a calendar of appointments and tasks? And how regularly do you refer to it?
When coaching executives, I often hear the phrase "putting out fires". Some of my clients work in environments - or have mindsets - that feel like we're lurching from one crisis to the next. While this gives a temporary sense of relief, the "quiet urgency" of other tasks gives us a shocker later in the week, and so we end up feeling overworked, exhausted and yet lack a feeling of accomplishment.
Sound familiar?
If you like, I'd love to work on my "objective vs. mission" exercise with you, and finding a sense of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to make your yin-yang of management. Let's talk!
