I thought I’d answer these questions Michael Hyatt asked of himself about being overwhelmed and I encourage you to as well. My name is Erich Stauffer and my answers are below the questions.
1. Are you ready for a change?
2. What is it that only I can do? Where do I add the most value? What is really important as opposed to merely urgent?
3. What are your three biggest productivity sinkholes?
4. Record your most common activities and tasks into categorized lists and determine what can be eliminated, automated, or delegated.
5. What do you make an hour (inside and outside of your 8-5 job)? Could you be more financially productive (and a better steward of your time) if you delegated to a paid assistant or service? Have you ever considered a VA?
6. How much of your calendar this week is dedicated to high payoff activities/important tasks? Are you putting the big rocks in your metaphorical jar before putting in the sand and water?
