Here is one for you .. a bit out of season.
There are 160 days left until Christmas. I be most of you didn’t have a clue; or if you did it was only after pulling out the calendar and counting on your fingers.
But I know that there are 160 days left. How do I know? Because Christmas is a very special and important time for my wife. She has a countdown calendar on our kitchen wall right next to the breakfast table. Every morning, religiously, Barbara subtracts a single day and …. “VOILA” – we once again know the time remaining until Christmas.
What Gets Measured …. Gets Done!
Once you determine what is important to you, I implore you to begin “measuring” in some form.
- You want to lose weight, start measuring your calories or your time on the treadmill.
- You want more sales, start measuring the number of contacts you are making on a daily basis.
- You want to become more intelligent in any one particular field of interest, start measuring the time you spend reading about the subject matter.
As we all know too well, time has a habit of passing us by. Let’s agree to the following:
For the next 90 days, decide what is meaningful in your life (personal and work) and begin to measure your progress. I promise that if you try this simple, effective maneuver, in 90 days, you will be miles ahead of today and your competitors. Your position in life directly relates to what is important to you.
What Gets Measured …. Gets Done!
We’ll check back in 90 days–when it will only be 70 days till Christmas!
