Blog Class - Lesson 1 ~Pick Your Theme~
Hello Dear Ones,
This lesson is a day late. I hope every one is still psyched and inspired and ready for action! Thanks for your patience…
One thing that is so great about creating wealth via the internet…it’s on your time schedule. To a certain degree. Don’t let yourself become so laissez-faire that you do nothing. Your time, energy and effort are still required. But if you do it a day later, or at 2 a.m. or 7 a.m. is your choice. Beautiful!
Let’s begin now.
Remember…FOCUS. (more…)
Getting Organized: Dispelling 8 Misconceptions of Organization
Are you one of those mythical folk who is just naturally organized? If you are one of those people – good for you! This article probably will not interest you that much though. For people who struggle with organizing every year (such as myself) – it seems that it’s always at the end of the year when that little annoying bug begins nudging you to clear things up and start the New Year organized and refreshed.
Well, I have read quite a few directions, books, and helpful hints about getting organized (in fact, I’m thinking of writing one myself), and I’ve got to tell you there are some misconceptions being fostered by many an “organizational guru”. So it is with great pleasure today that I share with you the “skinny” on this topic.
Here are the 8 misconceptions that we can throw out:
Misconception #1: You only need to handle paper once.
This is not only impossible, but in most cases it’s unrealistic. Instead of handling paper once, get in the habit of doing something with each piece of paper to move it forward. If you get some information about an upcoming seminar/trade show, for example, decide if you’ll attend or not. If you’re to attend then note the date on your calendar and sign up. If not, then toss the information immediately. If you want to wait to sign up, then make a note in your planner to respond well before the deadline and file the paper in your “to-do” file. (more…)
Gittr Dunn - Discovering My Efficiency Zone
Experts say that every one one of us has an “efficiency zone”. The zone is the mental state where we find ourselves accomplishing a great deal at a rapid clip, although it feels natural and comfortably paced. It is a zen-like state in which our true productivity potential is released. For example, when motivated with a specific benefit, such as a high score on a school test, I’ve been able to complete and comprehend a book in record time. The efficiency zone is available to any person, of any trade or craft. A carpenter could go into it while nailing shingles on a rooftop, developing a rhythm naturally and doing a fine job at a fast clip without even realizing it.
I am on a personal quest to become aware of when and how I get into my efficiency zone. I know, intellectually, that my time is valuable and that I am worthy of great things. Now, my goal is to tap into the zone and apply it to all areas of my life. One of my favorite sayings is “Gittr Dunn” (I’m from the dirty south - can you tell?) It’s says it so perfectly and with so much American cultural flair 
I believe that if we could all live in our efficiency zone all of the time, the world would be more productive, television would suffer massive ratings shortfalls and we would all be happier. Amen! I actually believe that as humanity evolves, we will be able to live more in this kind of self-directed, focused state of existence. (more…)
First things first - You Must View Your Time As a Valuable Commodity
Do you really value your time? Look at how you spend your day, and you will notice whether this is so. Your ability to manage your time - your time managment skills, are key to your success. Yet even before time management, you should be clear about your own worth.
Sometimes the keys to successful time management have nothing to do with planners, schedules or organization technique. Instead, changes of viewpoint can make all the difference in the world. These epiphanies can transform one’s outlook regarding time and how it is handled. One of the most important recognitions is understanding time, not as a menacing clock ticking away, but as a valuable commodity. (more…)
