Schedule Your Day to Reflect Goals and Priorities, Stephanie LH Calahan

Productivity Fact: You can be busy all day and still have gotten nothing done.

As a recovering work-a-holic, Productivity Specialist, Stephanie LH Calahan knows this productivity fact both personally and professionally. “We know that the 80/20 rule applies in most life situations. So, let’s look at how that applies to your time. Consider this, if you have a to-do list with twenty items on it, then four of those tasks will be worth more than the other sixteen combined.”

As best selling author Brian Tracy explains, “This means that each of those tasks will be worth at least 5 times more, or will give you a 500 percent return on time invested over doing any of the other tasks on your list, which are of low or no value.”

It’s easy to get lost in the multitude of tasks that cascade down on us each day. Using a high-level filter–your primary professional objective(s)–gives you a terrific way to identify those things that are truly significant from those things that are ”wish list” items.

Today it is more important than ever to make sure that the things we choose to spend our time on are the right things.
You will learn how to:
Identify your priorities
Align your goals to your true priorities
Understand your rhythm and how it impacts you getting things done
Align your time to the most important tasks
