Time is one of our most precious assets.
None of us gets any more of it than anyone else.
Yet some of us use it far more productively.
I employ 27 steps to wring the most from my 24/7.
Here are seven of them you can put to good use today.
1. Get organized. Quit wasting time looking for things.
2. Buy and use an appointment book.
3. Choose one with a calendar for each month.
This lets you see your schedule 4.3 weeks at a time.
4. Schedule appointments and projects in your book.
5. Prioritize all projects. Swallow the big frogs first.
These frogs are your high-payoff projects.
6. Plan tomorrow at the end of today.
7. Organize your "in" box before you go home.

Please put "Time" in the subject line.
That way I won’t think your message is spam.
Next week we’ll discuss costs and profits.

Stage your own moonshot
Welcome to my Tuesday morning Business Blog.
Last month we discussed flying into the future to create vision.
Today I want you to think about staging your own moonshot.
You must help your people envision your moonshot landing.
They must be able to imagine where it will take all of you.
That’s a thought from a new book, "Unstuck".
The authors are Keith Yamashita and Sandra Spataro,
Their advice is an easy one: Write a headline from the future.
What does it say about how your business will look in 5 years?
In 10? 20? 50? Even think about 100. Yes, 100.
The chairman of Sony once told a reporter he had a 100-year plan.
Wow! That’s vision. Does it make you want to dream, too?
What does your headline say about what your team achieved?
The "Unstuck" authors advise: Back it out, step by step.
What will it take for you to go from now to that future vision?
Let that rattle around in your brain for a few days,
Do a little day dreaming. Let your subsconscious mind work on it.
With vision and commitment, your team can go anywhere.
