10 Things To Do Every
Workday
I’ve always been focused on performance. I’m a
list person. I love the feeling of crossing things off. It makes me feel
productive. Plus, consistent productivity has the wonderful byproduct of
accomplishing more. Jeff Haden’s recent article on Linkedin summarizes the value of having a daily to-do list beautifully:
You don’t wait to do the work until you get the dream job - you do the work in
order to get the dream job.
I’ve never shared this list with anyone until
now.
It’s the list of ten things I try to do every
workday. Yes, there are days when I don’t get them all done, but I do my best
to deliver. It has proven very effective for me. They are:
1. Read something related to my industry.
2. Read something related to business
development.
3. Send two emails to touch base with old
colleagues.
4. Empty my private client inbox by responding to
all career coaching questions within one business day.
5. Check in with each team member on their
progress.
6. Have a short non-work related conversation
with every employee.
7. Review my top three goals for my company that
are focused on its growth.
8. Identify and execute one task to support each
of my top three goals.
9. Post five valuable pieces of content on all my
major social media accounts.
10. Take a full minute to appreciate what I have
and how far I’ve come.
This list could be longer. BUT...
If it was longer, I wouldn’t be as good at
getting them all done. This list is manageable to me. Of course, I do more than
these ten things every day. But, these are the ten I choose to do with
consistency. Why? Over the years, they’ve proven the best way for me to grow my
career and my business. The collective results have made completing these tasks
consistently; even when I don’t feel like it, well worth it.
What things do you do every day to advance
your career or your business?
