Ever notice how the most important things—the things that have the potential to impact your company’s growth the most—seem to get pushed off for the stuff that impacts it the least?
For sales people, it’s putting together the big proposal AFTER going through 6 hours of emails. For the CEO it’s finding the time to interview and hire an admin support person to get out from under the $10/hour jobs so he/she can focus on the $300/hour issues.
Getting the most important priorities done early in the day and early in the week, while your energy is highest and you’re the most excited, charged up and focused, sets you as a leader up for a powerful principle: You give your most your most, and you give your least your least.
