New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to make every minute count. That’s why he’s installed countdown clocks throughout city offices. City employees and the good mayor cannot miss the brightly flashing number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds left in office. His slogan: "Make Every Day Count"
is having a huge impact on government agencies. The results-oriented billionaire entrepreneur and his staff know exactly how much time they have to accomplish their tasks and goals.
We think it’s an idea that would help small business owners focus their efforts and grow their businesses. And it’s simple:
1. Create Urgency with a Deadline: Review your business vision, goals and lingering to-do’s. Select the item that would create the greatest impact on your business, then establish a timeline for completion.
2. Focus Your Action: Determine what you will focus on for the week. Set a timer for 45-minute power work sessions. Now crank! No answering the phone. No checking email. No accepting visitors into your office.
3. Monitor Your Results. At the end of the day and week, track your progress and update your action goals until you’ve achieved your goal.
4. Celebrate. Small business owners often forget to pat themselves on the back for a job well done. Acknowledge your accomplishment and reward yourself!
5. Maintain Momentum. Reinforce the value of visioning your success and taking daily action. Maintain the action process for BIG results.

That's great information and just in time to save what little sanity I have left. I hope. Well, I'll have to schedule in some sanity.
After spending a week out of town at The World's Greatest Marketing Seminar (tm) my to-do list has grown so long so fast that I'm starting to wonder how I'm going to get it all done. On top of that we just made an offer on a new home and move in 11 days. OMGosh - eleven days! I'd better find some moving boxes.
Now... where's my work calender?
Thanks ladies, for the recipe to focus and get things accomplished. I needed it!
