The Obstacle

Days Unfold As They Will
If We Allow Them.

Our Time
Energy
Attention
Is Fought For
With Every Advertisement

Our Time
Gobbled Up
Minute By Minute

Until The Day Is Gone.

We Feel The Building Stress Of
Tending To The Urgent
While Putting Off The Important.

Without A Plan
Schedule
And Boundaries
It Is Difficult To Perform
Focus
Execute
At A High Level.

Failing To Prepare
Is Preparing To Fail.

Make A Plan.

The Gift and Opportunity

Every Morning Is A Reset
Make A Plan.

Every Evening Provides The Opportunity
To Plan For The Next Day.

We Don’t Have To Constantly
Spend Energy And Time Task Switching
We Can Set Boundaries With People
And Technology.

Technology Can Call To Us
So We Can Set Limits On It
Do Not Disturb On The Phone
Timers On The Computers
Applications That Do Not Allow Social Media.

We Can Set Boundaries With People
So We Are Not Constantly Interrupted
Set Expectations
When We Are Available
And When We Are Not.

We Can Make A Short List
Of What Is Important For The Day
Focusing On That.

Not Dealing With The “Urgent”
As It Comes.

Peak Your Performance
Focus
Attention
Execution.

By Making A Plan.
