Other Added - Do You Have a To Don't List
Houseal Non-Settling Log SystemSettling in log homes has always been an issue, adding cost and complexity to log home construction. Using traditional methods of construction, logs are stacked horizontally one on top of the other (either scribed or chinked). Because logs tend to shrink and settle over time, the multiple layers of logs compound the effect of wood shrinkage. A tradition

Once you have your list ready, keep it in a place where you can see it. As you begin each day, think about what you want to accomplish and remind yourself of what you will NOT be doing. As you take action throughout the day, be aware of your activities and check to see if something you are doing is on your “to don’t” lis
Travel a lot on business?Wish you could breeze into a town with a briefcase and laptop and have an office ready for you? That’s not as farfetched as it sounds. Not if you know about executive suites and how they operate.Executive suites is a term used to describe rental offices in cities all over the U.S. and abroad. They are also referred to as ‘shared office space’. H
And if you spend almost all of your time working in your business, you don’t have time for the rest of your life. Isn’t it true that some of the reasons you started your own business were so you would have more freedom and fun? If you are stressed out and not able to get the right things done, then your business isn’t serving you in the way you intended.
The answer is to only focus on the main drivers of your business. The kind of things that are the most important to the growth of your business. I know, I can hear you saying that your business is different and you have dozens of important things you must do. The truth is that not everything is equally important. It’s really a matter of choice and you are the one who can decide how you choose to spend your time.
In many cases, in your heart you may know what the most important things are, but somehow loads of other things seem to get in the way. This is where a “to don’t” list can come in handy. So instead of a long list of things to do, try turning it around and focusing on what you don’t want to do. This will help you stay focused on the right things by default.
To get started, make a list of all of the things you are going to stop doing, things that are not directly connected to the core of your business.
Here are some examples of things for a “to don’t” list:
* Don’t schedule meetings with everyone who asks me
* Don’t check e-mail every 10 minutes
* Don’t spend hours thinking about small things like the best font type
* Don’t get lost surfing the internet
* Don’t keep doing things manually that I can automate

There was time when people use to go to their office in the traditional way, work for 8 hours and return back home to spend time with their family. Time has changed and so does the ways of working. People still go to their offices to manage daily business transactions, but today they manage their business with the help of new technology which is also moving with great speed. One has to agre

The days of medical billing where you walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist was busy printing out the few bills she had are long gone. Today, most of the medical billing that is done is done by very large companies. While this may seem more efficient and certainly more profitable to their customers, there are many pitfalls that a large company can fall victim to. In this art

If you were thinking of making an investment it might be a good idea to watch how Warren Buffet does it. If you are going to sell your business, maybe you should emulate Sam Zell, multibillionaire founder of Equity Residential (EQR). He is selling his company in one of the largest private equity deals ever.Sam agreed to take an initial offer from Blackrock Private Equity at $48 per s

The Law of Social Proof. The Law of Authority. The Law of Contrast. Do these terms mean anything to you? They will in a moment!You won't find these laws in your country's Constitution or legal writings, but whether you realize it or not they affect your life every day. That's because these laws are being used to influence your thoughts and actions all the time, without your even real

Once you have your list ready, keep it in a place where you can see it. As you begin each day, think about what you want to accomplish and remind yourself of what you will NOT be doing. As you take action throughout the day, be aware of your activities and check to see if something you are doing is on your “to don’t” list – if it is, stop doing it immediately! You can always add new things to your list as you become more aware of how you spend your time.
After awhile, you will automatically notice a “to don’t” and you will choose not to do it before you get lost in the activity and wonder where the last hour(s) went.
You can also use your “to don’t” list as a way to set stronger boundaries for yourself, and your business. Saying no to certain things makes the things you do choose to say ‘yes’ to, that much more clear and powerful.
It’s fun to make a list of all of the things you don’t have to do. So why not get started and see how many things you can identify that are not supporting the creation of a profitable business. You will be surprised at how much more you can get done in less time, still grow your business, and have a life.
