Getting things done means prioritizing. Too much velocity and you miss a beat.

I was told as a kid to take my time and choose wisely. The average response: Sure! I would then go about what I was doing, the way I was doing it…without much thought.

Our lives are often fraught with decisions needing rapid responses. As Executives, we like to make our decisions as rational as possible, though often succumb to lack of time. The velocity at which we process can often cause us to gasp for air, sapping our energy, until we slump into a downward spiral.

Staying on top of your game means designating time to regroup and restructure how you process. Go, go, go…and you are left with wasted energy and confusion.

2015 is approaching…don’t take the same approach. Take yourself to task!

A daily dose of de-stressing is akin to a daily holiday and greater productivity. When you are wound-up, confront it face-to-face by winding down.

2015…Own It!
