Of course we all would like to be more efficient in how we go about our tasks, but most of the time, it is much more talk than walk. Here are a few tips on how to get things done quicker and better. Just try a few of these tips, you'd be surprised at how much more time in the day you really have!
1. Delegate as much work as possible. Hey, why do the work if someone else can do it for you? As much as we all like to feel that we are not replaceable on this planet, let's face it, most of the time we can find someone else who can do the job almost as well if not better. Perhaps consider hiring a housekeeper if you have the extra money. The amount of headache and time you save may be well worth the money!
2. Schedule some alone time. If you are the type that always has a PDA on hand, always brings work home, always is on a work call or a work lunch, then you need to schedule time away from work!
Even if you are doing something enjoyable while working, you are not releasing stress, you are simply enjoying work a little more! It is great to get work done while doing things you enjoy, but you will likely be more efficient overall and happier overall if you are able to relax. Spending 15 minutes here and there meditating, listening to music, etc. without any distractions will go a long way towards releasing stress.
3. If you respond to a lot of emails for work, respond as quickly as you can to them. A lot of the time, we find ourselves looking at an email and thinking "I'll take care of this later" or "I'll think about it and get back to him or her later."
We secretly know that delaying won't really improve the response of the message, so you might as well go ahead and respond immedietly! By delaying, you have to open the email again, probably read it again, think about it again, and then respond. So much wasted time!
4. Plan and analyze your sleep schedule. If you slept a half hour less a day, you'd have essentially one more full waking day per month. That's like having a leap year with 12 leap days!
Of course, you may need the sleep you are currently getting and may in fact need more sleep. Each person's sleep needs are different, so you'll need to figure out what is best for you. Too much sleep and you're simply sleeping your life away. Too little sleep and you're going to be a zombie all day. You won't be able to get much done and won't be able to enjoy life!
What does having more balance in life mean to you? It differs for everyone. For some it's being able to focus more and stay organized on tasks. For others it's reducing stress and learning how to relax. Yet, for many facing learning and behavior challenges, it can be successfully living with ADD, ADHD or Autism. Wouldn't it be great to learn how to achieve this in just a few days? You can at the upcoming Brain Gym 101 Seminar in West Palm Beach, Florida. February 1 - 4, 2008. Are you living the life of your dreams? Are you doing the work you love? Are you and your children excited about learning and achieving to your potential? All of this and more are available to you when you have the Brain Gym Program working for you in your daily life.
If you'd like to discover an easy way to enhance your memory, organization, concentration and creativity, this workshop is for you. The Brain Gym 101 Seminar is an extensive 32-hour event presented by Dr. Paul Dennison, founder of the Brain Gym Program. The workshop is open to new students, Brain Gym 101 graduates, and those licensed Brain Gym instructors looking to further develop their Brain Gym skills. The course is centered on the simple, fast and fun 26-targeted movements that make up the Brain Gym Program. These movements consciously activate the mind/body system to release learning blocks and prepare your brain and entire nervous system for optimal learning. Participants are taken step by step through each movement with the detailed Brain Gym 101 Handbook as a guide.
The course promotes efficient communication between the brain and the rest of the body, increasing play and creativity and alleviating stress as it enhances performance, all ingredients for better balance in your life. The success of Brain Gym can be attributed to its effective movements, and balances, as well as to its addressing the physical skills of learning.
Since the 1980s the field of Educational Kinesiology, the study of movement and its relationship to learning, has touched people of all ages and cultures. Brain Gym has been introduced in homes, classrooms, businesses, and places of learning in more than 80 countries on all seven continents with rapid and often dramatic improvement in reading, writing, language and numerical skills. Many others use the work to profoundly enhance the quality of their attention and concentration, memory and organizational skills, athletic performance, and more. The popularity of brain exercises today supports the positive and dynamic effects of stimulating brain movements.
The workshop also explores the five learning principles central to Brain Gym Work. They include:
1) Draw Out: Intelligence is Inborn
2) Focus: Attention Follows Intention
3) Notice: We Learn What We Actively Experience
4) Move to Learn: Growth Is a Search for Balance, Imbalance a Search for Growth
5) Interconnect: Each of Us Is Affected by Each Other
Come and engage with others who believe movement is the key to whole brain learning and overall better health and well being. For more information please contact Dr. Patty Shackleford at 352.475.3311 or drpatty@pkconceptsinc.com. (Register Now).
