Corrina. Thanks so much for contributing and for giving such positive feedback. We’re really looking forward to taking your website to the next phase this autumn. Go boldly and be proud of who you and your company really are!

I like the bit about being Open, not trying to be what you’re not. I think it can take time to have the confidence to really broadcast the truth about a unique service, in case people don’t ‘get it’. I have been helped enormously in this area through your work with me on my Pathway Balancing website. Thank you and may your success continue and grow! Corrina.

Comment on Zambia Tourism Awards — the case study by eugene marais

Good Morning
I am trying to find the website with all the pictures of the winners for the 2009 Tourism Awards in Zambia. It used to be on Google, but I cannot find it now. Has it been removed from the web?
Thanks
Eugene

James,

Thanks for your valuable comment! I also get most of what I have planned done in any given day. I note your tip to read Duncan’s book and I shall get it – I’m book addict!

I think what I am suffering from is not the daily task management but the struggle with the mid term view (the next 3-12 months) and the knowledge that we have such huge tasks to accomplish of super high levels of importance! But then I reassure myself – it’s all about ‘how to eat an elephant’ – it’s as simple as breaking it up into small daily pieces. And since that is what we are both doing quite well then we should be doing just fine right?!

Thanks again for your thoughts!

Hi Sara,

I shared the link titled ‘Kill your to-do list’ but I think in some circumstances a to-do list is really useful and perhaps the only way you will ever get things done.

Like you, I have a healthy relationship with my to-do list but I think unusually for some people I actually finish my list entirely most days but the key to that is working out what needs to be done today and what can wait, separating the musts from the wants as Anthony Robbins might say.

Many things you do today could probably wait for tomorrow and as such should be kept off today’s list because nobody likes to relax when they know they have a lengthy list waiting for them when they get back to their desk.

So in a lot of ways, I find prioritising tasks to be very motivating and a good technique for relaxation.

Another way I get the most out of every day is to set aside blocks of time for tasks (based on an estimate of how long similar tasks have taken in the past) that way you can avoid overrunning and eating into time when other things can be done.

Having just read Duncan Bannatyne’s book on time management (well worth a read) I would say the best tip he offers is in relation to outsourcing any tasks that someone else could do better (or tasks that are so mundane they waste your time and expertise).

@welovebusiness shared a link originally tweeted by @Home_Business to a blog post with the title, 'Kill your to-do list'. It's a very interesting concept as it will get you thinking. I understand lists can be limiting but I believe I have a healthy relationship with my lists. They are just goals for the day and reminders to do certain things. Without my list or day planner I'd forget things that must be done. Or have I got this whole thing wrong? Your thoughts?
