B2 or Not B2? What a Question!
Have you had those weeks that seem like much ado about nothing? Constantly being upstaged by other players’ demands, your performance weakens and you lose focus. It’s a tragedy in the making. Time to act! Adding value and order to your daily tasks will give you direction. Here are a few pointers:

  • Enter value. Decide how important each task is. It’s as easy as A-B-C. “A” tasks are vital. Not accomplishing them today will significantly reduce their value. “B” tasks are important. They can wait a day without losing a lot of value. “C” tasks are optional. If you don’t get them done today, tomorrow, or even next week, don’t sweat it.
  • Cross to order. It’s important to decide when you will get things done. In your planning system, assign a number to each task in your different value groups. Example: A1, A2; B1, B2, B3; C1.
  • Exit stress. Cue off of these ideas for greater personal effectiveness. You’ll bring down the house!
  • Remember, a daily schedule is a mere “road map” for how you would like your day to go. Be flexible and realistic. There’s always tomorrow!
  • Regularly scheduling time for personal and professional reflection is a great way to stay focused on whether you are living by your values. Take time to think about the following questions: “Where am I going?” “How do I get there?” “What must I do?” “Why am I doing it?” “When should I do it?”
  • “I’ve learned that the great challenge of life is to decide what’s important and to disregard everything else.”
