I watched a webinar a couple or weeks ago, and it was one of the more interesting presentations I've seen and heard in a long time. This webinar was addressing the topic of improving a individuals productivity. Following are a few ideas I wrote down as I watched and you can decide if there is some value for yourself.
- Massive technology advances have caused confusion - because screens surround us every day. Our attention is their target, and the enemy for succeeding isdistractions.
- 145 billion e-mails/day...175 million tweets per day...text messages exceeds the world population daily....
- Facebook has 1000 hits a second....100 hours of video per minute for YouTube.
- The #1 skill in today's world is learning to control our attention.
- We need a strategy and it is RADICAL FOCUS...this is what will give a person a massive advantage.
One strategy is: don't allow yourself to get overwhelmed...or over scheduled. Most people who fail are just being busy being busy and accomplishing very little.
To succeed at high levels you must learn to FOCUS ON THE FEW.....THE VITAL FEW.
- Figure out what to ignore....What are the few things that are the most important for you to experience success in your business?
- Vital metrics....these are the numbers that will tell your story of what you have attempted and/or accomplished. What you did: Daily - Weekly - Monthly
- What are the 2 or 3 most vital skills you want to improve?
I hope there was something in these ideas that affects you like they did me. I'm still pondering them.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
