With all of today’s digital chatter, it’s easier than ever to lose control of one’s schedule and goals. After all, we’re bombarded with emails, tweets, and phone calls – each one expecting a real-time response.
In this environment, one could spend an entire day doing a lot, while accomplishing very little.
Stay focused on your priorities even in the face of these distractions.
Rather than reacting to issues, requests, and distractions as they come in, quickly assess whether they’re more important than your current goals and priorities.
You can choose to delay attending to these distractions by setting some time aside to deal with them later, then get back to your high-priority work now.
Focus on your priorities … get more important stuff done.
