INSPIRATION FROM JANE MARTINO 1. Do things straight away. This means don’t procrastinate – just do it and don’t put off – it won’t go away, no matter how much you want it to, the only way to cross it off the list is to complete it. So often we spend more time thinking about how we do not want to do something…and by the time we finish thinking that, we could have done it! 2. Be organised. An organised life and mind is an efficient mind, meaning you have more capacity and feel in your power. 3. Your environment can have impact on your efficiency. A tidy organised environment makes for a productive day. Visual drama can be distracting and gets in the way of the task at hand. 4. Empathise. Always look at things from other people’s perspectives. This will get you where you need to be with both people and tasks far quicker. Whether it is the intern, the courier or the CEO treat them all the same and always attempt to understand others – it helps you understand yourself better, which will naturally make you more efficient as you will be far more aware of your blind spots. 5. Work. The saying, ‘There is no escalator for success, you have to take the stairs’ is true. I honestly believe you must be prepared to work and put in the time, enjoy the process and then look back at your immense growth at the end of it all. 6. Hire help. Ask for and hire help when you need it, do not try to do it all but recognise what you are good at and where your time is best spent. This is an investment in your efficiency as well as your sanity. 7. Balance. Healthy mind, healthy body, healthy emotions make you more efficient and able to handle the bumps that are bound to come. Your mind is your most important tool so protect and respect it – meditate! NOW GO OUT AND DO IT JANE!
