    4 Forms of Accountability You Need to Accelerate Your Results

    Accountability is more than just a friend that calls you up occasionally to make sure you’re sticking to your weight loss goals. It’s also more than the occasional roundtable discussion with business colleagues checking in how everyone in the group is doing in terms of hitting their quarterly financial goals. True, meaningful accountability serves to prop you up when you feel discouraged, and also propels you to heights you never thought possible.    While there are many different types of accountability, both business and personal. Over the next four days, we are going to explore 4 types of accountability that you might consider putting into place in your life from this day forward.   Ultimately, accountability is never just a one-time thing that applies to just a single area of life. To find success, you need to be open to being challenged in all areas of your life. We can’t usually see our own blind spots – it takes trusted people in our lives to point them out to us and to provide us the support we need to work through those weak points intentionally.   So, tune in tomorrow for one form of Accountability that can help accelerate the achievement of your goals.    Put an end to the procrastination cycle and make progress on your goals with my complimentary Guide to Stopping Procrastination!

    4th Way to Be Even More Productive

    Today we are talking about Tip #4 for being even more productive, which is to Avoid Multitasking.   This might sound like an odd way to increase productivity, but it is actually pretty accurate. In most cases, multitasking just distracts you from doing your very best on one particular task at a time. Therefore, you can actually expect to get more done if you forgo multitasking and simply focus on the job at hand. Always remember to prioritize, and make sure that you focus on the most important jobs (jobs that nobody else can do) first. Keeping a time log can be useful to get a reality check on what you are really spending your valuable on doing every day. Periodically keep a log for a week or two when you feel you need to get a dose of reality.  To download my sample time log to help you and everyone on your team, go to http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/time-log/.   Tune in tomorrow for the 5th way to be even more productive.   Put an end to the procrastination cycle and make progress on your goals with my complimentary Guide to Stopping Procrastination!

    3rd Way to Be Even More Productive

    Today we are talking about Tip #3 for being even more productive, which is to Skip Some Meetings.    As Mark Cuban says, there are SO many ways to interact with people nowadays… is there REALLY a point to scheduling long and involved meetings?  Now, on the other hand, scheduling short meetings with a specific agenda of what you want to cover is actually very time efficient. This way you can collect things you want to discuss with someone and review them all at the same time. This cuts out the need to send onsey-twosey emails and constantly interrupt someone to get answers exactly at the moment you want them. Having these types of short meetings will definitely increase productivity. My philosophy is to live by appointment only, as much as possible.    Stand up huddles are also good for keeping meetings short as people don’t get very comfortable if they are standing up.   - Orison Swett Marden said: “The greatest things in the world have been done by those who systematized their work, organized their time.”   Tune in tomorrow for the 4th way to be even more productive.   Put an end to the procrastination cycle and make progress on your goals with my complimentary Guide to Stopping Procrastination!

    2nd Way to Be Even More Productive

    Today we are talking about Tip #2 for being even more productive, which is to, Plan When You Will Make Your High Payoff Phone Calls.   Making phone calls can eat up time, especially if you start dialing and leaving messages. Besides, you never know what might come up on short notice that could interrupt you. If you are trying to get two things done already, plus being available to subordinates, PLUS trying to make phone calls, you will likely not be able to give ANY of the activities the kind of attention that they deserve. In order to maximize your efforts, consider scheduling phone calls for a particular time. Pick a time when you will have the highest probability to achieve the desired results and not be distracted with other things or people. Sometimes making calls first thing in the morning can be the best time to get good results.     Tune in tomorrow for the 3rd way to be even more productive.   In the meantime, To help you Focus on Your High Pay-off Activities and Achieve Your Goals Using Effective Time Management, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/landing/, and download my audio training.   Put an end to the procrastination cycle and make progress on your goals with my complimentary Guide to Stopping Procrastination!
