What do you do with your 168?

First you may be thinking, Ryan, what is my 168?

Glad you asked.  It is the number of hours 24 x 7 we each have in a week.  No more and no less. So, always remember that time is the great equalizer.
 
So, here is my question: are you purposeful, deliberate and intentional with how you use your 168?
 
It is really quite simple in life as we have two choices. We can go through life with no plan (drifting like a leaf in the wind from place to place) or in contrast we can–  have a guiding strategy in all that we do.  You see– where we go long term is based on our hourly, daily, weekly and yearly decisions. It may not seem that way but it is true. Each decision we make, each hour, day, month and year… add up.  If we are strategic in our thought process we will end up where we want to be.
 
So, I stress again that we must all be purposeful in everything we do–and this is especially in our time management.  We must be deliberate online and offline.  Said another way, be intentional in our actions. And, also consistent in the things we choose to spend time in/on OR that we do not choose to spend time in/on.
 
Bottom line facts= we all have the same amount of hours (168) a week.  
 
Are you purposeful, deliberate and intentional with your time?
 
If not what can you change to ensure you are?

Want to Grow as a Leader? Learn to OverCommunicate

The communications process is a component of every aspect of life. Organizations are made up of people, and communications patterns are complicated. Let me take a moment and introduce the concept of “over-communicating.” It is vital to over-communicate in all we do—both online and offline. Note to reader: Communications involve all processes between sender and receiver, so this does not mean we simply talk or write more. The goal is maximum communications efficiency and effectiveness (green quadrant) as per the “E” Model below. Our world is noisy, has a short attention span and moves rapidly by nature. In consulting with…

Need More Time? Time to Think Differently

By Ryan Sauers I hope everyone is off to a great September. I do a lot of different things teach week and get to meet/interact with many people across the country. One of the common themes centers around the “seeming” lack of time people feel they have. You know what I mean. We say, “Where did the time go?” Or, that we have been “buried, covered up, slammed, running crazy, swamped,” etc. It seems our world moves faster with each passing day. However, I want us to consider if that is true. Apple, Amazon, and Google did not make the clock…

Do You Have a Brand? Yes, Everyone Has a Brand.

We communicate a message in everything we do – and it’s especially true when we use the term “brand.” All the time we discuss brands we prefer and those we do not. Why? Because brands stand out in our minds. Think about our instant recognition of Nike’s “Just Do It” or Apple’s “there’s an APP for that” campaign in recent years. These messages are effective in connecting customers with the brand. The goal is to make such a brand experience personal in nature. For example, are you a Coke or Pepsi person? Mac or PC? You get the idea.  Our…
