I bet you are super busy right now. I sure am. I just stopped by to visit a friend at his work.
He's the manager and his team team was all gone:
1 on maternity leave
2 out of town for job training
1 on lunch break
1 off for the day
He was left with
1 assistant manager from another branch to help him.
We have been talking about training for a while and he is really pumped about it. In fact, the whole team (all of which are MIA today) is too!
When you are trying to get so much done and cover other people ... you have to multi task. Unfortunately time waits for no man. Attempting to accomplish multiple tasks simultaneously is just a train wreck waiting to happen.
You will forget something, you will stress out, or your quality will be sub par (when you're normally raising the bar). Worse yet, you may not meet deadlines. And it gets so bad when you get bogged down, you just procrastinate, because you need a break.
Multitasking is terrible without focused time management skills and efficient training methods. Start becoming more organized and systematic with everything that you do. You'll save time, stress, and energy.
Multitasking would be something like studying for a test, listening to music, playing a game on facebook, and stopping every 5 minutes when your phone beeps at you. Something tells me the test scores will be lacking.
It is good to be spontaneous, so do not think of yourself locked into a tight knit schedule. It is not always work, work, work. It's not important to always be so serious.
I've talked about the concept of Excellence several times.
Excellence is not doing a single extraordinary feat.
Rather, it is doing simple tasks exceedingly well and consistently often.
Intense focus is extremely important. Turn off the phone, leave facebook alone, and shut off the TV. Get your work done. Relax later.
Work Hard
Play Harder
is a good way it was always put to me.
Now the only way I've seen this multi tasking work is when training. No, not tweeting between every set.
Full Body Integration works the whole body, boosts your metabolism, and gets you results. You focus on an intense workout where you really push yourself. Your heart rate goes up, you're definitely sweating afterwards, and you'll be burning calories long after the workout is done.
These 30-45 minute intense and focused workouts are just perfect for getting results. That's what you expect out of everything else you put your efforts into.
You expect to your efforts to result in a product. This could be organized team management, enhanced productivity, quality service.
Same thing with training. Look better, Feel better, Move better.
And I'm sure that's why you work out. Maybe you are not getting results or a quality product from your efforts. You are directly responsible for 90% of your quality of life. The other 10% is genetics.
So, when you're ready to take charge of what you can change, shoot me a call or an email.
Train Hard,
