Back To Work: Making Time for the MITs (Most Important Things)

Start off by thinking of 3 things to focus on for the next 12 hours. Write those—as objectives and/or goals—on a sticky-note or index card. Put that note somewhere you'll see it throughout the day. Review it occasionally. At the end of the day, ask yourself, "Did I do what I said I would do? Did I focus on what I said I would focus on?" Finally, throw away/recycle the index card. ^{link »}

The key is in deciding what's important, before you start your day, and bringing your attention back to those projects on a consistent, purposeful basis. ^{link »}

This idea is meant to provide you with a marker and a reminder…something you can use to recalibrate your (limited) focus throughout the day. ^{link »}
