Breathing Room

Sometimes every deadline seems to arrive at once. The past couple of weeks have felt that way - last week of the quarter (and the usual madness that entails), prep for the quarterly sales meeting, launching new messaging/packaging, a board meeting, etc, etc, etc.

That is all now in the past, and there is an immense sense of satisfaction in getting it all done, and done well. The secret my friends is not new and not earth-shattering. It is simply this:

1. Write it all down
2. Prioritize each item
3. Break each item into small do-able parts
4. Create a compelling event when each little piece must be done
5. Track all little pieces each week
6. Complete projects
7. Give yourself a a well deserved pat on the back AND
8. A little breathing room before you plunge into the next list of projects ahead.
