This is the ONLY way I get things done! I always make appointments with myself to get through my task list. I’m MUCH more productive that way. You’re so smart.

Good advice. Lists are nice, but you are right. Decide what you want to accomplish (plan ahead) and then focus on the activities it takes to get those things done. Thanks for the little reminder, Cameron.

I adore your obessession with getting stuff done! And will have you know my team functions on Top5 lists!

Have you heard this story – made me think of you:
A young man approached J.P. Morgan with a proposition: “Sir, I hold in my hand a guaranteed formula for success, which I will gladly sell to you for $25,000.”
Always curious, J.P. Morgan replied, “I do not know what is in the envelope, however, if you show me and I like it, I give you my word that I will pay you what you ask.”

The man agreed, handing J.P. Morgan the envelope.

When J.P. examined the note, he reached for his checkbook and paid the man the agreed-upon sum of $25,000. In one of his presentations, Tom Peters revealed the advice that was on that piece of paper:

1.Every morning, write a list of the things that need to be done that day.
2. Do them.

Steph – I LOVE that whole TOP 5 – but it was Ivy Lee with Charles Schwab – not JP Morgan

Either way – email is killing companies – and those who set goals and execute will win Love that you and your team do.

Cameron-

Found your blog/vlog from Gini Dietrich via twitter. Great suggestions – I am job hunting and sometimes the “unstructured” time can be a challenge. This should help a lot.

BTW, with the Olympics in Canada, I have to tell you how much I loved hearing your CA accent… it’s all abooouut Canada right now!

Thank you!
