This Podcast Is Episode 610, And It's About Practical Applications Of A Must-Read Book Into Your Small Business It's amazing how some books stand the test of time. We usually refer to one of our most recommended, Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, when we mentor our contractor clients and employees. Although it was first published three decades ago, its lessons are still incredibly relevant for business owners. You might wonder – how these habits fit into today's landscape of changing trends, tight deadlines, and constant distractions. The short answer is that they're timeless because they focus on principles that help you stay grounded while growing your construction business.   Below, we'll break down some of Covey's key habits and explore how you can bring them to life in your business today. Think of this as your blueprint for thriving in the chaos, not just surviving it.   1. Be proactive – the power of owning your choices   Covey's first habit, "Be Proactive," is about owning your life and decisions. For business owners, this means focusing on what you can control instead of stressing about what you can't.   Here's the thing about being reactive—it's debilitating. Complaining about a slow economy or frustrated customers doesn't solve anything, but switching to a proactive mindset is a game changer.   Anticipate potential challenges before they become disasters. For instance, if team morale starts to dip, address it early with open communication or team-building initiatives. Focus on solutions, not problems. Instead of dwelling on a client who backed out, consider what adjustments in your sales process could improve retention. Teach your team the same mindset. An empowered team that problem-solves proactively is a considerable asset.   Proactive leadership doesn't just keep you afloat; it helps you adapt and innovate in a competitive landscape.   2. "Begin with the end in mind" - set clear goals   This one often hits deep because how many rush into a workday without a clear direction? Covey's second habit reminds us to define our goals before taking action.   If you're running a business, you have to think long-term. What kind of company culture are you building? What legacy do you want to leave behind? Once you're clear on those things, aligning your daily tasks and decisions with the bigger picture becomes easier.   Create a vision statement that both you and your team can rally behind. Before launching a new service, ask, "What does success look like?" and "How does this align with our core mission?" Use goal-setting frameworks like OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to ensure everyone in the business knows where they're headed.   Think of this habit as your compass. Without it, you're likely to work hard but still feel lost.   3. Put first things first – manage your time   Quick question – how often do you find yourself buried in "urgent" tasks, only to acknowledge at the end of the day that you didn't touch what's important? That's where Covey's third habit, "Put First Things First," shines. It's all about distinguishing between urgent and truly important, then acting accordingly.   Use Covey's Time Management Matrix. Focus on tasks that fall into Quadrant II – essential but not urgent (strategic planning, team development, or building new partnerships). Delegate or eliminate tasks that don't move the needle. Not everything deserves your attention. Start each day by asking yourself, What's my biggest priority? If I do nothing else today, what task absolutely must get done?   When you focus on what truly matters, you'll feel less like you're playing catch-up and more like you're moving forward.   4. Think win-win – building mutually beneficial relationships   Business isn't a zero-sum game. Covey's fourth habit, "Think Win-Win," pushes us to find solutions that benefit everyone involved—clients, employees, and business partners. It's the foundation of trust and collaboration.   Negotiate with empathy. During discussions, consider the other party's needs and goals and find a compromise that works for everyone. For your team, create opportunities where employees feel empowered and valued. A win-win work culture keeps talent engaged. Innovate with your customers in mind. Ask how you can provide more value to them – and watch how that mindset leads to loyalty and referrals.   Win-win isn't always the easiest route, but it pays off in the long run.   5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood – empathetic communication   Have you ever been in a meeting where everyone is talking, but no one is actually listening? Covey nailed it when he discussed the importance of understanding others before getting your point across.   Empathetic communication is one of the most valuable tools for construction business owners. Whether with a frustrated client or a team member struggling with workload, truly listening builds trust and clarity.   Pause during tough conversations and fully grasp the other person's perspective before responding. Use active listening techniques like paraphrasing or asking thoughtful follow-up questions. Encourage this habit in your team to strengthen collaboration and reduce misunderstandings. The better your communication, the stronger your relationships – and a thriving business is built on great relationships.   6. Synergize   Combine the strengths of diverse team members to achieve innovative solutions. In construction, this can mean leveraging the unique skills of various trades to enhance project efficiency. Encourage collaboration through joint problem-solving sessions, where team members can share ideas and work together on challenges. The combined efforts of a well-coordinated team can lead to exceptional results.    7. Sharpen the Saw   Invest in the ongoing development of yourself and your team. This includes professional training, certifications, and wellness initiatives to ensure everyone functions at their best. Encourage a culture of continuous improvement through workshops and skill-building exercises. Regularly reassessing and refining processes keeps your business adaptive and innovative in a competitive market.   What makes "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" priceless for construction business owners today? Its focus is on principles over trends. Trends come and go, but these habits ground you in what truly works – proactive leadership, clear goals, thoughtful planning, and fostering meaningful relationships.   Adapting these habits to your daily life won't happen overnight, but even small shifts can create momentum. Pick one habit to focus on this week, cultivate a proactive, goal-oriented, collaborative environment, and see how it transforms your leadership and business growth.   Remember, no matter how fast the business world moves, the principles in this book will always hold relevance. They don't just make you more effective – they make you a better leader, decision-maker, and collaborator. So whether you need an excellent book or a knowledgeable bookkeeper, we are here to help.

Chapter 1:Summary of First Things First"First Things First," co-authored by Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill, and Rebecca R. Merrill, is a self-help book that emphasizes the importance of prioritizing tasks based on values and long-term goals rather than urgency. The central premise of the book is that effective time management is not solely about managing time but managing yourself in relation to time.The authors introduce a framework that encourages individuals to focus on what truly matters rather than getting caught up in reactive, urgent tasks. They highlight the significance of aligning daily activities with personal values and life goals, moving beyond the traditional "urgent vs. important" matrix to a more holistic approach that fosters fulfillment and productivity.Key concepts include:1. The Importance of Values: Identifying personal values is crucial for informed decision-making and prioritizing tasks.2. Quadrant II Time Management: The authors advocate for focusing on Quadrant II activities, which are important but not urgent, promoting proactive planning over reactive behavior.3. Goal Setting: Establishing clear, purpose-driven goals helps ensure that daily activities contribute to long-term aspirations.4. The Life Balance: The book emphasizes the need for balance in various life areas—personal, professional, social, and spiritual—to achieve true success.Overall, "First Things First" encourages readers to take control of their lives by aligning their daily actions with their deepest values and long-term objectives, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and effective life.Chapter 2:The Theme of First Things First"First Things First" by A. Roger Merrill is not just a book but a philosophical treatise on prioritizing life's essential aspects. While it's difficult to summarize plot points in a narrative sense, the book emphasizes several key themes and character, or more accurately, individual development principles. Here are some of the main ideas: Key Plot Points (Thematic Progression)1. Understanding Priorities: The book begins by challenging readers to rethink their priorities. It lays the foundation for understanding the difference between what is urgent and what is truly important in life. This leads readers to evaluate their daily activities and long-term goals.2. The Four Quadrants: A significant conceptual framework introduced is the "Time Management Matrix," divided into four quadrants based on urgency and importance. This model helps clarify how individuals allocate their time and where they should focus their energies.3. Aligning Actions with Values: As the discussion progresses, the importance of aligning actions with personal values becomes a primary focus. Merrill emphasizes that knowing one's values is crucial for making decisions that lead to fulfillment and success.4. Living with Purpose: The book emphasizes the need for a purpose-driven life. Merrill argues that understanding personal missions leads to a more centered and effective approach to living that prioritizes meaningful relationships and contributions.5. Interdependence and Relationships: The closing sections emphasize the value of interdependence in building strong, cooperative relationships as part of successfully managing one's priorities. Merrill underscores that success is not just personal achievement but also about fostering genuine connections with others. Character Development (Individual Growth)1. Self-Awareness: Readers are guided on a journey of self-discovery, encouraged to reflect on their own lives, values, and what truly matters to them.2. Empowerment in Decision-Making: Through questioning existing norms and practices, individuals learn to empower themselves in making wiser decisions that align with their values and priorities, rather...

主播：Wendi（中国）+Selah（美国） 歌曲：Birds of A Feather今天的节目我们来聊一聊time management（时间管理），尤其是“四象限法则”。This is such an important skill today when we often have to multitask.·multitask v. 多任务工作01. Four Quadrants Work Method 四象限工作法The Four Quadrant Method, also known as the Eisenhower Matrix (艾森豪威尔矩阵) or the Time Management Matrix (时间管理矩阵), is a popular tool for prioritizing tasks based on their urgency and importance (紧急性和重要性).So, it is a tool for time management. 它的基本原则就是根据任务的轻重缓急来决定处理的先后顺序。It was popularized by Stephen Rechards Covey (史蒂芬·柯维) in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (《高效人士的七个习惯》). 这个四象限工作法则就是在这本书里被带火了。It was created by Dwight David Eisenhower (德怀特·戴维·艾森豪威尔). 根据urgency and importance这两个维度，任务被分成了四种类型。Its key benefits are that it clarifies priorities (明确优先级), helps with decision-making (决策制定), and improves focus on important tasks.02. The four categories(1) Quadrant I: Urgent and Important 象限1——紧急且重要These tasks require immediate attention and are critical to achieving your goals. They often include crises (危机), pressing deadlines (紧迫的最后期限), and emergency issues (紧急问题).(2) Quadrant II: Not Urgent but Important 象限2——不紧急但重要象限2的这些任务一般对我们的long-term success（长期发展）很重要，比如personal growth（个人成长），building relationships（建立人际关系），and long-term planning（长期规划）。Examples: strategic planning (战略规划), relationship-building, self-care, exercise, learning, and professional development (专业发展).(3) Quadrant III: Urgent but Not Important 象限3——紧急但不重要These tasks demand immediate attention but do not contribute significantly to (对......有重大贡献) your long-term goals. They are often interruptions or distractions (干扰或者导致我们分心的事情).Examples: some emails, phone calls, meetings, and minor issues (不重要的问题) that feel pressing but aren't crucial.(4) Quadrant IV: Not Urgent and Not Important 象限4——不紧急且不重要These tasks often leading to time-wasting activities. They can be a source of procrastination (拖延症的根源).Examples: mindless web browsing (漫无目的地刷手机), excessive social media use (过度使用社交媒体), watching TV, or engaging in trivial activities (从事琐碎的活动).03. How do we use it?(1) Categorize Tasks (任务分类): List all your tasks and place them into one of the four quadrants based on their urgency and importance (把你目前的任务按照紧急性和重要性这两个维度放到这四个象限中).(2) Prioritize Quadrant II (重点关注象限2): Focus on activities in Quadrant II to achieve long-term success (获取长期成功) and reduce the time spent in Quadrant I. 也就是说在完成这些紧急且重要的事的时候要提高效率，不要占用太多时间。(3) Minimize Quadrant III (缩减象限3): Try to delegate or limit the time spent on tasks in Quadrant III.(4) Avoid Quadrant IV (取消象限4): Eliminate or minimize (取消或缩减) activities in Quadrant IV to use your time more effectively.Overall, this method of prioritizing your tasks based on the four quadrants sounds really workable (可行的). 但实际上第一步可能相当困难，因为你必须要figure out which task is truly important to you (弄清楚哪项任务对你来说是真正重要的).That is why it takes time to evaluate (评估) what is important and why things might need to be done in a certain order (为什么事情可能需要按照一定的顺序来做). Does it affect other people? What will happen if it isn't done immediately? 所以在用这个方法之前最重要的是要先分清楚任务的重要性。04. Are there any other methods?(1) Using a shared calendar (共享日历): this is especially helpful when coordinating with a spouse or family members to balance multiple schedules (当与配偶或家庭成员协调平衡多个日程安排时).Selah uses this with her Fiancé (未婚夫). 她在iPhone上有一个共享的日历（我们也可以用谷歌日历）。When one of them has an event, they put it in. It saves so much effort and miscommunications (省去很多精力和误解). 在手机上和家人或者朋友建一个共享日历，既方便又能起到一个互相督促的作用。(2) Timeboxing (时间盒): It involves setting a fixed amount of time (设置一个固定的时间) for a specific task or activity. The difference is that you stop working when the time is up, regardless of whether the task is completed (当时间结束时，无论任务是否完成，你都将停止工作).这样就不会导致上一个事情的进程耽误之后的事情。But, to be honest, as somewhat of a perfectionist (完美主义者), this can be a bit annoying (有点恼人), not being able to get something 100% done.But you have to zoom out (从大局看) and realize that this can be essential within the grand scheme of things (这在宏大的计划中是必不可少的).Wendi doesn't really have a method for time management. What she did was to simply list out all the deadlines on her calendar (在日历上简单列出所有事情的截止日期), and then break down these tasks into smaller ones (把这些任务分成更小的任务) and put them on her to-do-list (待办事项清单) every day.05. Benefits of good time management 良好的时间管理的好处Once you are good at time management, it not only reduces stress, but helps you spend time on the most important things, and not waste time and energy on things that do not matter! It makes life more fulfilling and efficient (使生活更充实和高效). It also makes sure you don't forget important things.For Wendi, managing tasks can really help her to relieve anxiety (减轻压力), because most of time our anxiety comes from not having control over the uncertainties in the future (因为大多数时候，我们的焦虑来自于无法控制未来的不确定性). So being more organized (更有条理) allows her to deal with these tasks one step at a time (一步一步处理这些工作) and know when or how she will finish them.

Chapter 1:Summary of First Things First"First Things First" is a self-help book by Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill, and Rebecca R. Merrill, published in 1994. It builds on the principles established in Stephen Covey's earlier book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," focusing especially on Habit 3: "Put First Things First." The core premise of the book is about managing one's time and life through a framework that prioritizes the most important tasks, leading to a more satisfying and productive life.Here are the main concepts from "First Things First":1. Paradigm Shift: Covey challenges the traditional time management models that focus primarily on efficiency and getting more things done faster. Instead, he proposes a paradigm shift to focus on effectiveness—doing the right things and ensuring that one's values guide all actions.2. Four Quadrants: Central to the book is the Time Management Matrix which categorizes tasks into four quadrants based on urgency and importance:- Quadrant I: Urgent and important (crises, deadlines)- Quadrant II: Not urgent but important (planning, relationship building)- Quadrant III: Urgent but not important (interruptions, some calls)- Quadrant IV: Not urgent and not important (trivia, time wasters)Covey argues that focusing on Quadrant II activities is key to effective self-management as it involves doing things that help build a balanced, fulfilling life in alignment with one's deeper values.3. Vision and Values: The authors emphasize the importance of defining a personal vision and consistent values. This helps in prioritizing tasks in life ensuring that what you consider most important actually takes precedence in your day-to-day actions.4. Mission Statement: It encourages readers to create a personal mission statement that acts as a foundation for making major, life-directing decisions, as well as daily planning activities.5. Balance: Covey also talks about achieving a healthy work-life balance by assuring that your scheduling reflects personal and professional priorities while addressing physical, social, mental, and spiritual needs.6. Delegation: Covey discusses effective delegation, which isn't just about getting tasks off your plate; rather, it's about responsible empowerment—transferring tasks in a way that boosts growth for others.7. Synergy and Interdependence: Building on the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, the book suggests that working in tandem with others leads to better outcomes and more balanced life.The ultimate goal of "First Things First" is to move from a crisis management lifestyle, dominated by the urgent, to a values-driven management of time that focuses on accomplishing tasks that are truly important. By doing so, Covey argues we can achieve a greater sense of purpose and satisfaction in life.Chapter 2:The Theme of First Things First"First Things First" by Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill, and Rebecca R. Merrill is a self-help book that expands upon the principles found in Covey's previous book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People." Rather than focusing primarily on time management, "First Things First" emphasizes life management by prioritizing tasks that are both important and aligned with one's deeper values. Here's an exploration of key plot points (in the context of its non-fiction content), character development, and thematic ideas central to the book: Key Plot PointsWhile non-fiction and self-help books do not have a conventional plot, the structure of "First Things First" can be viewed as a journey or roadmap to attaining a more fulfilling and balanced life through effective prioritization. Major points in this journey include:1. Questioning Time Management: The authors challenge traditional notions of time management that emphasize...

This week, I want to talk about how to focus on the right things at work, using Stephen Covey's Four Quadrants. At its essence, the Four Quadrants is about time management. If you're anything like me, you've had it up to your eyeballs with articles, speakers, and social media posts about how to manage your time better. So, let's not go there. Instead, let's think about the Four Quadrants as a tool to manage our ACTIVITIES better – so we are focusing on the right things to get the results we are held accountable for achieving. My challenge for you in this area is this: After listening to this episode, decide to make a small – but significant shift – in one of the quadrants. A shift that will yield substantial results in terms of your productivity. The Four Quadrants For the uninitiated – or as a refresher - here are the four quadrants: Quadrant I – Urgent & Important Quadrant II – Not Urgent but Important Quadrant III – Urgent but Not Important Quadrant IV – Not Urgent & Not Important Let's get specific. Quadrant I is the Quadrant of Necessity – things you need to do immediately. While these things are Urgent & Important, living in this quadrant tends to lead to burnout and takes time away from doing things that are Important but not Urgent. Examples:Resolving crises/Putting out firesPressing problemsProjects with deadlines  Quadrant II is the Quadrant of Quality – this is where you do important things that lead to real success and long-term viability for your company and yourself. The best way to ensure you are spending an appropriate amount of time in Quadrant II is to calendar these activities in and keep track of what you are doing. Examples:Relationship-building/NetworkingPlanning/PreparationPreventionEmpowerment  Quadrant III is the Quadrant of Deception – the key here is to recognize that these tasks don't need to be done right away and may even be delegated. These tasks may seem important in the moment because of their urgency, but they aren't. The challenge is not allowing someone else's urgency to become yours – especially if it is due to the other person's procrastination. Examples:InterruptionsSome phone callsSome mailSome reportsSome meetings  Quadrant IV is the Quadrant of Waste – activities that aren't urgent or important. You want to minimize the time you spend in Quadrant IV at all costs. Examples:Busy workSome phone callsSome mailTime wasters  So, how do you figure out where the shift needs to take place? Step one is to take an honest look at how you are currently spending your time at work. Some of you may do very similar things each day, so evaluating how you spend your time could be as simple as tracking your activities for one day. Others of you may have a wide variety of tasks based on the day of the week, time of the month, quarter of the year, or other variables – so you'll need to evaluate how you spend your time over a longer period of time. I thought I would use myself as an example – and yes, I'll let you know the shift I will be making as a result of this exercise.  Quadrant 1 – Urgent & ImportantWriting my client's resumes, cover letters, and LI profiles – 10 hours/weekCoaching calls with clients/Consults with prospective clients – 12 hours/weekWriting and producing this podcast each week – 2 hours/weekResponding to emails from clients, prospective clients, etc – 2 hours/weekIn-processing new clients – 1 hour/weekSunday preparation for the coming week – 1 hour/weekMeeting with my VA and my coach – 1 hour/weekTOTAL: 19 hours/week  Quadrant II – Not Urgent but ImportantAttending SHRM meetings - 2 hours/monthAttending Ellevate meetings – 2 hours/weekOther professional development – 2 hours/monthNetworking via LI, Fairygodboss – 2 hours/monthBudget management – 1 hour/weekPlanning for business growth & expansion including new programs – 4 hours/weekTOTAL: about 7 hours/week  Quadrant III – Urgent but Not ImportantI can't think of anything I do that falls in this category  Quadrant IV – Not Urgent & Not ImportantGoing down a rabbit hole with unimportant emails – not much time, but should avoid this altogether – 2 hours/week  Here's what I learned from this exercise: I spend the vast majority of my time in Quadrant I, which can lead to burnout. I get tremendous satisfaction from planning for the growth of my company, as well as networking – yet I let the Quadrant I activities overtake Quadrant II activities. I am committing to carving out an additional two hours/week to engage in planning, program development, and business growth. My question to you is this: What one change will you make that has the potential for a tremendous ROI in your productivity – job satisfaction – results? Let me know!   Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day? The CareerSpring document and coaching program will help you find a job that uses your zone of genius, recognizes your value, and pays you what you're worth.  If you're ready to take your job search to the next level by working with a highly experienced professional with a track record of client success, schedule a complimentary consult to learn more:  https://calendly.com/lesaedwards/zoom-meetings2

Last week Cam and Shelly talked about habitual emotional responses to the stories we tell ourselves. This week they explore habitual responses in the context of time. Those of us with ADHD can have a complicated relationship with time. We can be extremely reactive to it, and we can be highly avoidant of it. Today the hosts share client examples of some classic habitual responses to time. Shelly and Cam reference the Eisenhower Decision Matrix tool that distinguishes importance and urgency in a task, especially Quadrant I items that are important and urgent and the ever-challenging Quadrant II items that are important and not urgent. With ADHD just ‘scheduling' our important items in the future is not enough. We have to first address the propensity to be drawn to the biggest signals - lit up by urgency and our level of interest. Shelly leads off with her own client example where her client struggled with scheduling the all-important case notes in her role as a special education teacher. As Shelly and her client start to look for the “big chunks” of time the client starts to shift her perspective, not only seeing the time but how the time would be valuable to address much more relevant tasks. In doing so, Shelly's client noticed and shifted away from her habit of thinking she needed big chunks to finish her notes. Cam follows with an example where the client's habitual response is to avoid undefined but less urgent tasks, pushing them to the next day on his calendar. These self-described “black boxes” were a source of underlying anxiety for Cam's client. But when the client let go of not knowing and embracing a narrow role of just assessing and defining the task, he could overcome his avoidant behavior. In both examples, the clients got curious and present to the opportunity at hand. Cam and Shelly leave listeners with some simple practices to start identifying and shifting habitual responses to time.

Adoption, IVF treatments and surrogacy are alternative ways and means of having a child if the natural way fails so it is with Believers. As new covenant believers, seeking a man or woman to be a surrogate for your miracles and breakthroughs is a God-given fallback plan for believers when they cannot stand for themselves trusting God, believing Him and standing on His word to receive their miracles. This series seeks to enlighten and tutor the believer on God perfect plan and route to miracles and breakthroughs using and following through with the principles of Hope, Faith, Courage and Patience HOPE is SEEing SOMETHING that will happen. FAITH is BELIEVEing, SOMETHING, will happen. COURAGE is MAKEing SOMETHING happen. PATIENCE is KEEPing these 3 alive till SOMETHING happens. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pastorobi/support

When couples can't have a baby naturally they sometimes elect to adopt, surrogacy or the lastest fertility treatments. All these options are alternatives or 'last-ditch' efforts to have a child. When Christians depend on another Christian, pastor, priest, prophet etc to contact God on their behalf for a breakthrough, miracle etc, this is spiritual surrogacy. God's plan is that as believers, we s should work out not only our salvation for ourselves but our miracles. learn to do this with God! Watch video here: https://youtu.be/fri9pVWK3F0

In life, we face endless options about how to spend our time. With social media and the internet, we have never been so aware of these options, and the barrier has never been lower for people to share their opinions about what we should be focusing on (like this post!). We also live in a world where everything is urgent, needs to be done now, and we ignore the fundamental reality of trade offs — saying yes to something invariably means saying no to something else. With these obstacles, how do we decide what is important and remain focused on the most essential things in life? On this episode, I share what I have discovered on my journey to live a life prioritizing the important over the urgent. It is not always easy, but it is absolutely worth it. Successful people — meaning people whose lives are in line with their deepest values — spend most of their time in Quadrant II. Over time, small deposits in these important, non-urgent tasks of Quadrant II can produce incredible results. But the opposite is also true. Neglecting Quadrant II activities can lead to long term regrets and more urgent matters (e.g., health issues or relationship problems). I hope this episode of the podcast will help you think more about the important things in your life, prune away the non-essential, have the courage to say no, and truly put first things first.

Time Management for e-commerce is an absolutely critical skill area. Time management can be the single biggest block to even starting an e-commerce business. And for an established, busy e-commerce business owner,  managing time is just as critical. In this episode, we focus on the learnings from the wonderful book (and also audiobook) - "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Steven Covey Links to related podcast episodes/show notes around self-management for e-commerce entrepreneurs: For the other episodes related to time management for e-commerce and based on this book and philosophy: Habit 3 Part 1 ( episode 324) Inside Out (episode 283) Habit 1: Be Proactive (episode 284) Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind (episode 298) What it takes to say “No” The only place to get time for Quadrant II in the beginning is from Quadrants III and IV. You can't ignore the urgent and important activities of Quadrant I, although it will shrink in size as you spend more time with prevention and preparation in Quadrant II. You have to be proactive to work on Quadrant II because Quadrants I and III work on you. To say “yes” to important Quadrant II priorities, you have to learn to say “no” to other activities, sometimes apparently urgent things. Keep in mind that you are always saying “no” to something. If it isn't to the apparent, urgent things in your life, it is probably to the more fundamental, highly important things. Moving into Quadrant II in Time Management for e-commerce If Quadrant II activities are clearly the heart of effective personal management—the “first things” we need to put first—then how do we organize and execute around those things?

Welcome to another edition of the Leader Manager Coach Podcast, today your host Rob Ryles discusses how to achieve ultimate efficiency by adopting the Pareto Principle, in life and in business. Discover the simple and effective way you can get more done in less time and supercharge your productivity.   Rob challenges you to take a look at your own life and see where Pareto's principle is working. Learn how to spend more time on the 20% of activities that can improve your life and increase your efficiency, productivity, and profitability. Hear how Pareto’s simple and phenomenally powerful 80/20 principle, can be implemented to great effect and how when combined with Covey’s time management grid you can save time and discover the things in life that are actually achieving the most fruitful results. Key Takeaways:   If we focus on the 20% that produces 80% of the results, we can turbocharge our life and our business you need to analyse your life and the activities you're doing, examine the results and learn to focus on what matters.   Understand how the principle is becoming more acute with the use of technology and systemisation. It is moving more towards a 90/10 or 95/5 principle. This means those who embrace it will see even more effective compounding results. By continually applying this principle and by analysing your daily activities, you will see a compounding effect and astonishing results when combining this with Covey’s Time Management grid. Understand how to be the master and not the slave and spend your time wisely. Pareto’s 80/20 Principle 80% of our activities in life will produce 20% of the results 20% of what we do will produce 80% of the results Covey’s Time Management Grid Quadrant I is for the immediate and important deadlines. Quadrant II is for long-term strategizing and development. Quadrant III is for time-pressured distractions. They are not really important, but someone wants it now. Quadrant IV is for those activities that yield little to any value. These are activities that are often used for taking a break from time pressured and important activities. Best moments: “In essence, a minority of the things that we focus on will produce the majority of the result” "The rich get richer and the successful get more successful, this is the compounding effect" "Start small with the little chunks of time you can affect, begin with 30 minutes per day and start to analyse your day to see where your 20% is" “Time management prevents us from a constant crisis in our lives” Valuable Resources: Richard Koch - 80/20 principle book George Leonard - Mastery Stephen Covey The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People About the host: Rob Ryles is a UEFA qualified coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.

We’re officially on a roll with the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. We’ve covered Habit #1: Be Proactive and Habit #2: Begin with the End in Mind.   Today? Habit #3: Put First Things First.   Here’s the short story: Covey tells us that some things matter and other things don’t. Highly Effective People know the difference and they “Put First Things First.”   As Goethe said: “Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.”   Covey shares a handy-dandy four-quadrant model to help us get clarity on what’s really important. He organizes activities by Urgency and Importance. So, something can be Important or not and Urgent or not.    In Quadrant I we have things that are both “Urgent and Important.” These are fire drill-like activities. Unfortunately, way too many activities fall into this category. We need to do a better job of reducing the amount of stuff that shows up here or we’ll be constantly stressed and burned out.   In Quadrant II we have things that are NOT Urgent but ARE Important. This is our magic bucket. It’s where our real impact occurs. Unfortunately, most people are spending all their time reacting to stuff all day every day. They don't spend enough proactive time doing what really matters.    In Quadrant III we have Urgent but Not Important stuff. These are really just interruptions. We want to identify and reduce.   In Quadrant IV we have Not Urgent and Not Important stuff. This is pure time-wasting stuff. Surfing the Internet, checking your phone for notifications every 5 seconds. Spend enough time here and you’ll get fired.   So…   If we want to “Put First Things First” what do we need to do?   Very simple (but not easy): We need to prioritize the Quadrant II activities.    How? Well, here’s one easy way: Go back to Habit #1 of being proactive and go back to +1 #201 of being Creative BEFORE you’re Reactive.   You simply CAN’T check your email (or news feeds or social media notifications) first thing in the morning and expect to be as Effective as you’d like. P E R I O D.   Do you?   Today’s question: What little thing can you do to put first things first today?   Get on that, +1 style!

"How can I be more proactive?" MG and HE tackle this powerful and common question from a number of vantage points, starting with the late, great Dr. Stephen Covey and his all-important "Effectiveness Quadrant". Martin shares that by drawing out this diagram yourself it can provide a very basic and visual framework for anyone to organize those things in their life that are IMPORTANT but NOT urgent. And, addressing those consistently is the KEY to effectiveness. The challenge for most of us is that we spend so much time in the "URGENT" and "IMPORTANT" quadrant, which is Quadrant #1. And ultimately, we begin to confuse "busyness" for effectiveness and then, unfortunately the really import work we need to be addressing is neglected. Henry uses the example of personal goals and how it is that we must be able to add a sense of urgency to those projects that are most important to us but lack a sense of urgency. Then both MG and HE get into various techniques, strategies and tools to use to help anyone be more proactive and to knock off those Quadrant II items!!! (some tools in links below!)

This is another word for organized procrastination. Unlike my occasional procrastination which is unorganized and sometimes called the squeaky wheel syndrome. This is where my attention jumps from one topic to the next due to the ringing phone or a multitude of other distractions. Analysis Paralysis occurs when someone gets so bogged down in the details of their project that it never gets completed. Many times they are waiting until it's perfect or trying to juggle multiple projects. Stephen Covey speaks in depth about putting first things first in his best selling book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. He describes Time Management in a matrix of four types of activities. Quadrant I – Important and Urgent Quadrant II – Important and Not Urgent Quadrant III – Not Important and Urgent Quadrant IV – Not Important and Not Urgent Covey teaches that we are most productive when we spend most of our time in Quadrant II, tasks that are important but not urgent. Recently I spent some time with my friend Andy Traub and he gave me two gifts. The new book, Poke the Box about personal initiative and ShipIt, a short pamphlet designed to help remove Analysis Paralysis; both of these by author Seth Godin. I watched Andy use ShipIt to help him quickly develop a Video Product in a short amount of time. ShipIt is a short business plan to help guide you through a specific task or project. Sometimes we need a roadmap to help us move through a project to completion. In addition, you could consider an accountability partner to keep you on task. Make a decision to finish something that you have had on your list way too long and quit waiting for perfection…it doesn't exist. Have a great week! Pierce
