I often have difficulties not the get sidetracked when maintaining my goals. Saying no has come to play a crucial role as well as setting goals for each day and making them visual to me.

Another article I saw talked about "managing energy", our own energy as oppossed to time which I found interesting. Also, how time is invetsed can also depend upon our preferences. For example, I share Jim Collins thoughts on Creating. I am a creative person and know that I am serving my clients best when doing this activity as I can add so much more value. Now when it comes to say process and systems, I know I need to hand things over to someone who loves doing them....which isn't me. My solution. Invest my time doing what I am good at and keep building my team so I can do more of what I am good at and so can they. I feel I am being authentic and true to myself and supporting others to do so as well. Regards Ruth It’s an interesting one…how we use our time. Another article I saw

Even in a leadership role, you want to please the majority yet please the minority without ruffling any feathers. Time is very important as well. I do not allocate my time as much as I should. This blog has me thinking about prioritizing much more. Thanks! I think the hardest part is saying no.

I at one time struggled a great deal in not letting myself become side tracked with things going on around me. I found it helpful to make my vision visual and put it where it could be seen at all times as a reminder to the things I'm supposed to be doing.
