And mine is:
First, list the work things that I need complete today or this week.

Second, set the priority of each one. Some belongs to normal, some belongs to the highest.

Third, limit the time. Doing everything must have a time limit. Set the time for each one can helps to control the whole process better.

Fourth, set reminder. This mainly helps me to know that should do right now and be more focused.

Fifth, set recurrent tasks. Some tasks needs focus every day, or every week, or even every month and year. Considering this, a recurrent task can help a lot to save time and alert me.

If I wait until near the deadline and then ask for help, I’m imposing. I’ll pay more, if it’s a paid service, or I’ll annoy my coworkers if it’s an internal cry for help. Asking for help at the last minute means creating a crisis for others.

If I delegate early in the project, the person to whom I am delegating has the opportunity to do his or her best work, at a comfortable pace.

I really like the way you go into details for every issue you talk about. I checked your course and I was pleasantly surprised that you have the same writing style as I first experienced on M & A blog.

I quickly compiled a list of your directions in the blog post and it looks like this:
____________________________________
1. Dedicate time to playful exploration.
2. Track and appreciate every small step of progress you make.
…
10. Block out time to be in the zone.
____________________________________
Since it looks short & sweet I have an interesting idea for spreading the word about your course and I think you might like it. Just ping me and I’ll be happy to share it.

Focus has been a hot topic lately, and it’s something I struggle with in my office’s open workspace environment.

My circle is so used to me being accommodating that this is something I’ve been struggling with since returning to college at 45. My mind is made up though. Anything that interferes with my path has to be removed.

Instead of checking my email while propping my eyes open and slurping coffee I now light a candle and just write, or perhaps read about writing, for at least 15-20 minutes. Sometimes more. It changes everything. I feel more creative and less stressed by the demands that arrive from cyber space. I still slurp coffee, however.

Recognizing the small wins and celebrating them does relieve some of the stress I get from my 9-to-5 job. Sometimes I go for a walk in the nearest park in the office or buy myself coffee or milktea and hang out just by myself while listening to my favorite songs or podcasts. Sometimes we just have to be creative.

Thank you for sharing these tips! I will definitely try some of them one of these days.

A great thing about motivational triggers is that it takes me out of my “unproductive” zone into my “productive” zone because my brain associates these triggers with work. As a blogger it’s difficult to always remain alert and on schedule all the time, haha.

I’ve realized that if I watch motivational videos, I get pumped up, so I’ve been watching quite a lot recently :D.

Do something you don’t like to do and hours drag and it feels like nothing moves. Do something you love and you cannot find enough time to do everything you want to do.

This is a necessity for me as I tend to think I’m not doing enough, this will help me see that I am doing enough and maybe even more.

My biggest challenge is recharging and taking breaks. I also struggle to ask for help when I really should. These are the points I need to work on so thanks for the reminder.

I think it is something I would like to concentrate on right now in my life. Even small steps are progress towards the goal. And seeing that progress is not only self-empowering but also self-motivating! Great post… Very thought provoking.

But when I continue to work for a long period of time, I tend to lose focus of myself in a way. It’s hard to describe, but I basically continue working and working until I start to feel mentally numb. So I do know it’s pretty crucial to take breaks every now and then to refresh my mind and get my thinking pattern back to standards.

My question concerns # 7. Ask for help the minute you need it.

Beginning an online business means I need help in many areas. So how do you ask for help with successful folks without coming across as “needy” or “desperate”?

I have a passion for my message and experience to back up my assertions, so how do you go from small to highly noticed without creating a nuisance of myself?

You two have great insights for folks. Thank you for your serving hearts.

Number 7 is definitely the one I’ve struggled with the most; it seems the bigger your ego, the less help you think you need from others!

I would add “batching” to this list; batching all your small, time-consuming tasks and finishing them all at once will save up a lot of your time!
