Good Idea- Monday Morning Memoir 11/10/2008

When you’re running a business you never have a minute to just think.  “Focus time” helps to just unwind those thoughts and get in touch with the answers.  Once a week I turn off the office phone, my cell phone, close the door and place an appoitnment in my calander called “focus time”.  I try to only do one task and complete that task 100%.  Put on some music, relax and think through an issue.  Take some notes and layout a plan of action.  This type of “off” switch really helps to get through those tough decisions or tasks.

    You know, this is an excellent idea. I’m constantly being interrupted by emails, phone calls, and the people I live with. I could easily block off a few hours each day to focus on some core action items. Think I’ll try it!
