Today we are talking about the 2nd top distinguishing factor of business owners who use accountability to get results, which is to be Organized, productive, and efficient in time management and task completion.
Every successful entrepreneur understands that organized and efficient productivity is an essential part of leveraging time and energy. You cannot build a successful business wasting time or spinning your wheels. You have to learn how to do the most in the least amount of time – and with the least amount of energy. When you integrate accountability into everything you do, there is no finger to point at anyone, but yourself. Taking that responsibility will naturally drive you to put your best efforts forward and keep you organized, productive and efficient.
If you’re truly a procrastinator at heart, you may have to bribe yourself with a reward to get things done. For example, don’t allow yourself to go to lunch until you complete three of the five tasks at the top of your To-Do List. Another example may be to allow yourself to take a three-day weekend when you met your goal(s) for the month.
Alternatively, you may have to implement “retraining” yourself from unproductive behavior. For example, say you procrastinated or wasted time and didn’t accomplish your goals for the day, week, or month. To retrain your mind to think in an efficient manner, create a competition with yourself to accomplish a task faster than you have in the past. Use a stopwatch or timer to keep track of your time. The next time you have to do that task, try to beat your old record. Do that each time until you refine the process enough to become highly efficient.
Tune in tomorrow when we will talk about the 3rd Distinguishing Factor of Business Owners Who Use Accountability to get results.
