Getting it all Done!

Does it ever seem like there is not enough time to get it all done ... living your life?

Join the crowd. The "on the Run" notion of this blog is tied to the fact that so many of us have more on our To Do list than can actually be accomplished 24/7. If you are one of those individuals consider developing your skills in compartmentalizing.

By compartmentalizing, I mean, focus on your priority tasks immediately and put the others on the back burner. Today's urgent tasks will take your primary energy and focus. Tomorrow you can deal with the rest.

This may seem like a simple thought, but so often we allow all of the many goals and responsibilities of our lives and careers to crowd into our mind all at once leaving us exhausted, confused and unable to accomplish the needed immediate tasks in front of us. If you have experienced this, remember to compartmentalize. Deal with the tasks in today's compartment and let the others go for now. Focus. Act. Revisit the rest of your goals tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.

At the height of your accomplishment, this will require that you set clear priorities for yourself and share them with those closest to you so they understand how you are handling the overload of life, career, family or whatever is on your list.

In time, this discipline will become second nature and will enable you to work toward your success most effectively ... on the run!
