CLARITY KICKSTART – Week of March 11, 2013
“You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage – pleasantly, smilingly, unapologetically – to say no to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger ‘yes’ burning inside.”
~ Stephen Covey
Coaching Tip For The Week:
We hear it all the time: “YOU are in charge of our own life.”
Yet we also hear (and likely say ourselves) “I’m too busy!” “I don’t have time!” “When will things slow down?”
As Dr. indicates above, living your values and honoring your priorities doesn’t just require effective time management – it requires courage.
To live and work in fulfilling, meaningful ways, we must be strong enough to stand tall for what we believe in, take healthy risks, and say no to things that don’t align with our purpose and priorities.
This week, identify your top 3 priorities for the week. What matters most to you at this time? Pull out your calendar and make sure you’ve designated time for those 3 areas. Don’t leave those high-priority items (or people) at the mercy of, “When/if I have the time.”
