STEP 7: MAKING DECISIONS AND TAKING ACTION

Here are some key ideas and tips to assist you in making important decisions and taking necessary
action.

 Organize your day into TIME SLOTS

Determine your most productive time of the day, i.e. early morning, midday or late in the
afternoon.

Some people are early risers, some are night-owls. Efficient time and energy management is key
to remaining productive.

 Get started

Research shows getting up earlier can make your day. While many are sleeping in, successful
people are already up and getting a lot done. Successful CEOs start their day early. Getting up
earlier also allows you to envision your day and start in control instead of rushing to catch up.

The biggest challenge is just starting.

“Turn on the key of your mind, get your engine moving and get momentum on your side.”

Perfection can paralyze you

It’s better to get something out the door than to hold onto it for a long time hoping to remove
every flaw.

One of the fastest routes to improve your productivity is to become a swifter and better decision-
maker. Don’t overthink it!

 Put the things you don’t want to do but need to do into motion

Start with this task first. Get it done.

 Take responsibility

It can be hard to stay focused on what you really intend to do. Accountability is key. Without
Accountability, Fear, Uncertainty and Procrastination can get in the way. There's always an excuse
for not doing something unpleasant. You’ve got to look past these initial negative feelings….

Ask yourself, WHY you’re really avoiding it.

Once you face your FEARS, you are One Step Closer to getting over them and getting them done.
