Hi! I�m Chris Schultz. You�ve landed on my little outpost of internetville. I�m a unrepentant entrepreneur-enabler & community-activator. Thanks for swinging by. A penny for your thoughts.

Doing too much? Do what’s important

  • November 4th, 2011 /

My friend Kenny Nguyen asked me for some tips on where to focus his time, because he, like many of us, feels like he’s doing too much. Since I’m trying to do the same thing, I thought about what I am doing to focus. Here goes:

Decide what is urgent, what is important. Separate the way you think about things and prioritize truly important things.

Accomplish one thing a day proactively, not just reactively. Answering emails does not count as forward motion.

Focus on what helps you accomplish your goals – building a company – or whatever it is – and spend the large majority of your time on only that. If you’re doing more than 20% peripheral stuff (ie community service work) then you should probably cut back.
