Think of this… We have all been in meetings called by someone else. When we go to these meetings, we can’t answer our phones, we can’t get any other work done, and we have essentially set aside that hour to focus on the meeting topic of the day.
I’d like to suggest that you apply this same concept to those important items that you have in your life.
Set an appointment to have a meeting with yourself.
This means that you don’t take phone calls, you focus only on the subject at hand, and you avoid all distractions. After all, isn’t this what you do when you go to someone else’s meeting?
This is the best way I know to get to the important but not immediately pressing stuff in your day, week, or month. Give it a try!
