Last November, I was assessing my business growth for 2015 and it wasn't what I wanted.
I looked back at the year and realized that I'd lost a boatload of time, each day, each week, and each month to that giant rabbit hole called DISTRACTIONS.
I can Bright Shiny Opportunity Chase with the best of them!
Sometimes
it was online distractions, you know, you start out looking for one thing and next thing you know, you've blown an hour checking out 10 other things that all seemed to be related. (And you leave a trail, at least I do, of tabs open, my record is 169, OMG)
Sometimes it was just feeling overwhelmed and getting into that frozen place where not a damn thing moves, and you sit there staring at email, or staring at the screen until you call a time out
and, in my case, play fetch with my cat (she is maverick at fetch, guess she thinks she is a dog.)
Other times it's having too many open projects and bouncing between them but not actually get anyone of them complete or fully launched (that is WILDLY INEFFECTIVE.)
So when I got an email touting something called "The 90 Day Year", I was curious.
The promise that I could get more done in 90 Days than I had in my previous year sounded too good to be true, but since I love learning, I was all ears.
I'm also fascinated by launches, and this was particularly well done with kick ass videos, totally rocking printable matrixes, step by step plans, and much more.
I was hooked.
I signed up and waited 30 days (because why on earth would I start anything during the holidays when I could start on January 1 ~ yes, my master procrastinator was in full force) to take any action.
Once I dove in, I applied a technique taught called Block and Tackle.
It was simple enough, you select a single project task (that's a piece of a project not the whole
darn thing) to focus on exclusively for 2 hours, WITHOUT DISTRACTION.
So you've got to zip up your email, shut down FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, and any other notifications, even turn off your cell phone…
(Seriously, because as I was writing this, I failed to do that, and answered a call, then had to mentally shift gears to be writing you again, lost 15 minutes, it adds up
fast.)
What I discovered is that this technique alone, Block and Tackle, totally transformed my productivity.
What might take me an insane couple of days with distractions, calls, and more, literally gets done in just 2 hours with ZERO DISTRACTIONS.
Suddenly, I was taking back my time from the jaws of that DEVIL of
DISTRACTION.
There are a handful (not too many as that will land you in overwhelm) of key techniques I learned and the program is returning this week.
I'm going to be sharing it with you because it transformed my business and may do the same for yours.
I wanted to give you Block and Tackle so you can implement it (it sounds way sexier when Todd
teaches it.)
This is as much about mindset and getting MASSIVELY CLEAR ON YOUR PRIORITIES as it is about getting stuff done.
What I especially love is that Todd works with businesses at all stages of growth.
So whether you are in Dream Up, Start Up, Ramp Up, Scale Up (me), or Leader Up, his techniques will make a profitable
difference.
Here's to getting more done in less time and loving it more!
Hugs,
Melissa
PS. Look for my email on Monday, there is a video that will have you nodding in agreement with what is revealed.
