Work On The Right Things

Work On The Right Things Many of you know I have tried to blog every work day since I started this blog, almost nine years ago.  That makes for a lot of blog posts over the years! I got to the point where I couldnt really focus on anything until I had my blog post written.  Many of them are from the heart.  Many of them share what others might consider secrets of a successful job hunt. In the last couple of years Ive missed a day here, and even a week there.  I started to miss consistently. I would usually miss if (a) I was on the road, or (b) I was working on a heavy deadline. The way I dealt with travel or deadlines before was to write a blog post before the big event, and then schedule it to post on the right day.  Not too hard. I finally realized, though, that writing blog posts was not my primary business. Of course, I always knew that, but I was letting that become Priority Numero Uno. and neglecting other things I needed to take care of. I wonder if you are doing the same thing. There are some things that we gravitate towards things that are comfortable, or fun, or easy.  But those things might not be the right things to spend our time on. I invite you to make a list of the important things to work on, and the things you are working on, and see if they are the same things.  Otherwise, adjust your time and priorities. Dont spend time on things that will get you no return. One of the things I love about Mark LeBlancs stuff is he says to work on three High Value Activities each day.  Consistently doing that is a super high priority.  Are you working on any high value activities each day?
