Thanks for this Michael! For me, it is about finding the balance between different types of committments – work, family, hobbies, etc., and determining how much time I can put into each in a satisfying way.

The truth is music to my ears! Why is this such a difficult concept for Corporate America to accept? Amazingly enough, I often was challenged by upper management when I said I needed to keep my sales teams focused on their biggest commitments to clients. It didn’t seem to matter to them. They just wanted to see more effort at any cost. It didn’t matter how important the commitment was, it only seem to matter how much you were able to get done in a certain period of time – so old school! I am forever grateful to be self employed.
Not a great post for time management experts…just kidding Great post!

Right on, Michael! When we make commitments rooted in our values and priorities, we can rest easy that we are doing the right thing at the right time, and we will feel good doing it — which makes being productive much more fulfilling and fun because we know we are moving toward what we really want. Thanks for a great post!

I wrote about this in reviewing Seth’s new book Linchpin – to me, making a commitment to your most important – and thus often scary – work first thing in the day is what so many of us forget to do. We get swept up in busy work and even though that work needs to be done, it’s like junk in the garage — it expands to fill the space we give it. Thanks for a timely reminder!

This is very true Michael… putting in priority those that are necessary to get done soonest and leaving the rest that can be done in a snap… and if I may add, if multiplying yourself is necessary to get a task done, it would most likely that the business progress would be more faster than it should.
