How do you take your prioritisation to the next level?
Hi,
This week I am keen to get your help please.
What are your thoughts on the above?
How do we all become better at prioritisation so we all become ‘less busy and more brilliant’?
To give you some context. I have been asked by a UK client to record a 60-80 second video #giftbite on the above subject. In essence, how leaders become ruthless in terms of how they prioritise and allocate their time.
How would you answer the question?
How would you prioritise your answer as you only have 60-80 seconds?
Themes in my mind:
Get absolute clarity on what matters most - the drivers of your business success - and build your high performance diary around them.
Say yes to things that will support the above and no to the rest. Adopt the rowing/formula 1 type mantra of ‘will it make the car/boat go faster?’ If you believe it does, do it. If not, question why you would do it.
Create free time for thinking, wild ideas and important medium/long-term activities like mentoring talent.
Utilise the GiFT631 mind-cleanse process to operationalise the above. Ensure your high performance diary has sufficient time-blocks for high priority, ‘deep-work.’ This is work that needs committed, focused time, free to interruption and disruption.
Question and then shorten every meeting.
Work at your level - ie do your job and not other peoples!
Do this exercise for at least 2 weeks:
a. Write down what you say no to.
b. Underneath, write down what you did in place of what you said no too.
c. Review whether you made a good choice in terms of how you invested your time. ie was what you did instead of greater value? Was it more aligned to your drivers of success?
👉ACTION: Please send me your ideas/thoughts/practices. What do you do? What do you know you should do? How do you coach others in this regard?
👉Do you want me to post the #giftbite when I have recorded it?
