You Are Distracting You Way Too Often

ANNE BACHRACH
About this episode

Applying the 4 D Formula for helping you focus on your high payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your goals is very important to your success. Just as a quick reminder, the 4 Ds are: Drop, Delegate, Delay, and Do. 

 

Believe it or not, the ‘stuff’ in your head IS distracting you!

Do you have things continually going on in your head of all you have to do today, tomorrow, next week, etc.?  Those are distractions!  When you effectively use your calendar (apply effective time management principles) along with your master task list, on a consistent basis, you don’t have to have all these things going on in your head thinking you have to remember them, and being afraid you are going to forget to do something.
