You are tying your shoelaces the wrong way!

So much to learn. So little time…

What’s your “one thing” that you need to do (will do) today?
Some days my to-do list reads like War & Peace (sometimes more war than peace). And on those days it’s so easy to not to the “one thing” as I can get so lost in the many.
BTW, if anyone wants to buy me a gift, these notepads look fab.

A 90-Minute Plan for Personal Effectiveness - Tony Schwartz - Harvard Business Review

I really like Tony Scwartz’ advice. 

  • Decide what’s really important to do the night before.
  • Spend the first 90 minutes of each day, unplugged and totally focussed on achieving that.
  • Don’t be distracted, don’t take a break until the 90 minutes are up.

So that means no emails, meetings etc - unless one of those has been declared the most important thing.

Here’s the full article on Harvard Business Review

Have you eaten a frog yet today?

Seems like a good habit to get into. OK, I’m off to catch that frog.

So, what’s you frog today?

zen bones...

Steve Mathew's Blog

Follow @SteveMathew

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
