Are you feeling overwhelmed?
Default back to your post-it “to-do” list on the side of your monitor.
If you’re feeling distracted or “off point,” always go back to your post-it “to-do” list on the side of your monitor.
If you’re feeling lost or unsure of what to do next, just return to your post-it “to-do” list on the side of your monitor.
Bottom line: If you’re not on task, always default back to the things you set out to accomplish for the day BEFORE the day got out of control and you’re wondering what to do :-)
The people who succeed aren’t the ones who never get off target (nobody can do that). The people who succeed are the ones who RECOVER from being off target.
