Politics, the art of the possible.
I feel a little rant coming on.
The talk is of cuts to public expenditure and tax rises, the main parties arguing about how much and when, while some banks continue to post paradoxical profits and announce bumper bonuses.
I believe the Government should impose heavy, specific, temporary taxes on bank and financial sector profits that have been generated on the back of public subsidies and support provided over the last 3 years, without which these now prosperous banks would have failed.
I fail to see why this is not being done with vigour. There is a lack of political will, which I find both sad and disgraceful.
How are you getting on with Making Your Uncomfortable Decisions?
The right decisions are often uncomfortable.
What are you continuing to do that you know you should stop doing?
Put 3 things onto your NOT TO DO List now.
On mine I have:
1 Cancel another 3 email newsletters that I should stop reading. They tell me little new for the time they take to scan and read.
2 Resign from one committee this month, which involves the wrong reward to effort ratio and stop attending related meetings and events without stronger evidence of potential value. Their buffet also gives me the wrong diet.
3 For every one new thing I start, stop 2 I am currently doing.
Remember Mr Ferris from last month …lack of time is actually lack of priorities….be better at prioritising and simply do less.
Being busy is often the result of lazy thinking leading to unnecessary action providing poor return on time invested.
Determine again to limit tasks to the important, to shorten work time; and shorten work time to limit tasks to the important.
Are you down to doing only the 2 things a day that will make the big difference?
Keep trying - read less, think more, be selectively ignorant, be clear on your objectives, decide to do the important, ignore the trivial, cut out time wasters – people as well as things- and have a bit of fun.
How are you getting on with eliminating the unnecessary, automating, outsourcing and delegating?
For me, MCA News is now definitely every other month and not monthly and Marketing Donut monthly but totally outsourced and automatic.
Next month I experiment with outsourcing to the New World, paying only for completed tasks and not paying for time, as well as launching an information product for sale and going for hopefully a sunny break – bring on the World Traveller.
Have you sacked your worst customers yet? Give me a call and we can do some role-play.
