Question: There is so much coming at me each day. How do I know I'm focusing on what should be my Number 1 priority?
I think I've only missed a flight once in an airport. It was not a happy call to tell my wife I was enjoying a drink at the Sky Lounge and that I had plenty of time to do that, since I just missed my flight and there wasn't another one until late that evening.Ever since then I check the board to make sure I didn't miss my flight. Another reason I keep checking it is that sometimes they change the gate number for a flight-- and it's not always close by.In PerfectTIMING I talk about this situation and relate it to your work day. I propose that all day long you should be asking yourself this question:"Is what I'm doing THIS VERY MOMENT the Perfect use of my time? "If you are, give yourself a pat on the back. You've stayed on track. You are focusing on that ONE THING that deserves your attention.But if you veered off course because of interruptions or another reason-- hop off of what you're doing and get back to your Number 1 Priority. This technique saves you plenty of time throughout the day. It's one of the time management secrets I give you in my book PerfectTIMING to help you find two extra hours in your day.
