And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, “This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!”
And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, “No. This is what’s important.”

Coaching Tip for the Week:
When you arrive to work, what is most likely to get your attention?
If you’re like many, it’s the “reactive” stuff: email, voicemail, others’ requests.
This week, when it comes to your daily planning, practice what I call First Things First (I love Stephen Covey’s book of the same name). Before flipping on email or checking social media or entering a meeting, decide for yourself what’s most important. Identify your 3 most important tasks of the day – the 3 that, if all else goes haywire, must get done in order to move you closer to your vision and goals.
The act of moving from a reactive to proactive start to your day will work wonders for your productivity, leadership, and mood!
