Getting Started

It sure sounds easy..just get started, but we all know it isn't that easy.  Actually, getting started is often the hardest part (especially if it is cleaning the house!).  This is why we have created many things to help us get started...

1. Alarm Clocks
2. Coffee

Ok, so I can't think of anything besides the two listed, but you probably  have your own tools to help you get moving.  The great thing about getting started on anything is that once you have started you are that much closer to getting done and getting done with anything always makes you feel great. 

So, as I was getting started working on this newsletter I decided to google
 "getting started".

It was then that I realized why getting started really is so difficult...there were over 98 million items that came back on that search!  So I guess I won't be getting started until after I read through those!

Check out my google search below.

 What have we done lately?  

 
Return the Clarinet 

                                           Clarinet 

 Our customer had a child who spent the summer "deciding" about returning to band class.  As the end of summer drew near the decision was clear...nobody (parents included!) missed the sounds of practicing the clarinet so we returned it to the music store for another lucky family to use!

 

 

 * What to do with that old Lionel Train?

 

                          Lionel train    

     Our customer had a very old Lionel Train set and was unsure what to do with it.  Keep it in storage collecting dust, find some one to give it to or track down the value and sell it to a collector?  We kept our customer on track by tracking down some information about the set so that they could make an educated decision about the best road to take for them and the train!

 To Do List 

 

Decide, Date, Do or Delegate.

  

  Sometimes the hardest part of getting something done is deciding how or when to do it.  Once you have made a decision about the how or when you have cleared the way to become more efficient with your time.  Here are three easy steps to get more time in your day.

1. DECIDE: When something shows up on your "To Do" list, immediately make a decision about the priority level of the task.

2. DATE: Once you have assigned a priority level assign a date to complete the task and write it on your calendar.

3. DO OR DELEGATE: Mark the item as a personal "To Do" that you will manage or decided if it is a task to be delegated.
