Braun at RaisingSmallSouls.com wrote a fantastic article on Time Management Tips for Parents, that I just had to share with you: “Oftentimes, a frenzied pace takes over our days as we frantically attempt to squeeze chauffeuring two children to three different after-school-activities, grocery shopping, a stop at the ATM machine, picking up the shirts at the cleaners, returning library books, and a mad rush to ship a package before the Post Office closes. Simultaneously, we are fielding phone calls from seven or eight important people and an additional dozen callers of lesser degrees of prestige. Text messages . . . → Read More: Time Management Tips for Parents Is your computer full of files? Does it need a good cleaning? Maintaining good computer files is just as essential as a paper filing cabinet, and follows many of the same principles. First, decide the broad categories that will suit your needs and create folders in your “My Documents” area to match your categories. Then decide on subcategories for each folder, and create new folders for each subcategory. In your computer, you could have several subfolders within a main folder. For example, for my business, I have a main folder “XYZ Business”. Then I have subfolders: “Bookings, Recruiting, Host . . . → Read More: Clean Out Your Computer Files! Okay, so you know I love rules (remember the earth-shattering, life-changing 2 Minute Rule?), and when I was reading one of my brother David’s latest blog posts, it reminded me of a rule that helped me be productive and stay sane years ago when I was writing my Ph.D. dissertation. And it’s still something I use today. It’s the 45 Minute Rule. The 45 Minute Rule is simple. Do something for 45 minutes straight, with laser focus, and then take 15 minutes to unwind and do something relaxing. Repeat. It’s funny, as I remember back to the 12-14 hour . . . → Read More: The 45 Minute Rule So often we get overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks that have to be done every week to keep our business up and running. But, the question you need to ask your self is, “Is what I am doing the best use of my time?” This question is my mantra, and I ask myself this throughout the day to make sure that my actions are on track with my values and goals. But, how do you know if it’s the best use of your time? Do this little activity: First, write down everything you do for your business . . . → Read More: Simplify Your Business Tasks So often we spend time talking about goal setting and achieving goals, while very little time is devoted to the other (and probably more important) half of goal setting and that is your values. What are your values? What matters most to you? Here’s a list of common values: *Accomplishment/Achievement Adventure Clarity Commitment Community Connecting/Bonding Compassion Creativity Emotional Health Environment Excitement Freedom *Fun *Harmony Health Honesty Humor Integrity Internal Power Intimacy Joy Leadership Loyalty Nurturing Openness One with Nature/Outdoors *Orderliness/Organization Partnership Personal growth & Learning Privacy/solitude Recognition Romance/Magic *Security Self Expression Sensuality Service/Contribution *Spirituality Trust I’ve *starred some of . . . → Read More: What Are Your Values? With the new year upon us many look to make huge “new year’s resolutions” and often those big ideas last for a few weeks and then they are gone. Well, here’s a new idea. How about 100 small goals to be accomplished in 100 days? That’s exactly what my brother, David Lunsford (also a self-employed entrepreneur) is doing, and he is blogging about his experiences. You can start this at any time, and all of the 100 goals don’t have to be earth-moving and mind-shattering. Simple things like drinking more water, doing better oral hygiene, and apologizing has been . . . → Read More: 100 Goals in 100 Days Do you know that what you do today does not affect today? Instead, you will reap the rewards of your work from today 30, 60 and 90 days from now. This is because it takes a little bit of time to have the results show up for your efforts. It’s unlikely that your recruit lead will sign the first day you call, but that first call leads to an interview, which leads to that person joining your team.
