Everything moves fast – cars on the highway, hours in the day, people going from here to there. Somedays it’s hard to slow down long enough to really notice who they are or where you’ve been. But business doesn’t have to be like that.
o Every morning, create a plan.
o Simple and short meetings are the best.
o Pay attention and stick to it as best you can.
o Be flexible for the most important interruptions.
o Keep others informed about what’s going on and why.
o Before you finish the day, check back with those you missed.
Communication is the key to making your plan work. While most people like and use emails and texts, it’s often good to call and actually talk – you will be amazed with how much you can get done or clear up in a live conversation. There really is no good substitute for face to face or voice to voice communications. Many in my circle have grown accustomed to Face Time and Zoom as a next best alternative when you can’t be there: I believe virtual communications are the silver lining to the pandemic’s forced isolation. So, while the world dances around and past you, keep up by staying on the move yourself today.
