Have you so much to do you can’t figure out where to start?
When you prioritize your projects, that pressure disappears.
You know what you must do first and what to do next.
As Mark Twain suggested, go for the big frogs first.
Here’s an example of how you might make this work for you.
Jim Howard and I drove to Charlotte for an NSA Carolinas meeting.
That's our local National Speakers Association chapter.
Jim’s a great friend who also handles my Internet marketing.
Ted Janusz spoke at NSA on social networks and other eTools.
By the end of the day, 14 new projects were on my list.
These included setting up a Google Ad Words budget.
Another was to rewrite our website Home Page copy.
A third was to write my next book’s marketing plan.
Ted stimulated many ideas, concepts and strategies.
On the way home from Charlotte, we talked these over.
We set priorities based on what promised the biggest payoff.
Google Ad Words topped the list. Set up a new blog came next.
Then a Home Page rewrite. Everything else fell into place.
If you’re struggling with a long to-do list, you can do this, too.
Put the biggest frogs on top of your list. Do them in order.
Set deadlines for completing each. Be accountable.
You may be surprised by what you accomplish in record time.
