Guest Post: Todd’s #1 Time Saving Tip for 2010

If you’re not going to put 100% effort into doing a great job then don’t do your job. Just stay home. Catch up on some sleep. Take the day and vege. Heck, take the rest of your career off.

While that’s a pretty rough statement, in this “value-driven world” it’s very appropriate. Luckily there’s a positive side to it as well.

Very early on my grandfather drilled the need to “do your job well” into my head. His favorite one-liner was, “If you don’t have the time to do it right the first time how are you ever going to have the time to do it over?” (And believe me, if he thought it wasn’t right you DID do it over.) Lucky Strikes and Jim Beam aside, my grand-dad was a wise man.

He also taught me to shake hands the proper way, to remember names, and always say “thank you”. He never read an email and probably wouldn’t have made it as long as he did if somebody had sent him a TXT message. If he were alive today I’m sure he’d be labeled a renaissance man.

Fast forward 20 years and we are multi-tasking our way through our day trying to cram 60+ hours into a (some say*) reasonable 40 hour work week. And then balance that with family, eating right and getting enough exercise and rest. If this is you then I have a question; How’s that working for ya?

Hey Todd! You mentioned a positive side, care to expand on that?

Yep, slow really is fast!

We slow down.

We do everything we do with 100% of our focused energy.

And we complete it – correctly and in a timely manner. (Do you remember that feeling called accomplishment?)

The bottom line is if we are not committed to doing something with everything we’ve got then why even start it? Eliminate it. And that frees up the time necessary to other things well.

Do it for 30 days. Your business, personal, and spiritual life will reward you in ways that you can only dream about today. Let’s both do it. And then we’ll talk in a month and share how our lives changed.

Thank you for taking the time read this. I appreciate you!
