Tips On Getting Organized

Do You Have Problems Getting Things Done?
Probably the most common element that I see in clients who can't get things done is interruption. The kids, spouse, or other obligations are always "getting in the way" of their music careers.

The problem isn't usually the interruption though...it's the people being interrupted.

There is something about most people which makes them feel they should be accessible at all times. We've got mobile phones, pagers, a fax, email, and dozens of other ways to let people get in touch with us. And all that stuff is great, but that doesn't mean we have to use it all the time.

If you've ever tried to call my office, you'll get voice mail...and it's not because we're not around. We don't answer the phone because calls keep us from getting things done.

You may be thinking...

"What if the person calling is stuck on the side of the road and needs help?"

That person knows they'll get voice mail on my line, so they'll call somebody else.

But the truth is, most nothing that you're interrupted by is nearly this important. For me, it's usually musicians too lazy to look over the information on the web page or people in the office who "just need a minute" because they lack the ability to make a decision on their own.

You don't have to live your life like this, but if you can make just an hour or two of uninterrupted time per day, you'll be amazed at what you're able to accomplish.

How Power Focus can take your business to the next level...
Expect the best and you free yourself from thoughts of failure. This freedom will allow you to put all your energy into achieving everything you desire. If you expect to fail, then you inevitably will. However, if you expect to succeed, then the sky is the limit... Success is a combination of skill and belief. Use the following guidelines to release your doubts and succeed at every endeavour you undertake Let go of doubt and truly expect the best possible outcome. The mind has a sneaky way of achieving what it views as fact. If you firmly believe in the best outcome, your mind will automatically lead you to achieving that outcome.To help with this process, visualize your success in full color with Dolby surround sound. The more detail you see and the more emotion you feel, the more you strengthen your belief in your success. Use your past successes to increase your confidence and strengthen your belief even further. Remember how you felt inside when you achieved that past success and use that powerful emotion when visualizing your future.Imagine an athlete at the start of a 100 metres sprint. By visualizing his past victories and seeing himself crossing the line first in this race, he is able to increase his chances of winning. His mind will automatically view this as a fact and push his body even harder. This same exercise can be utilized in your business. Allow yourself to dream, and then decide to dream big. Dreams are an important component to success. If you never allow yourself to dream, then you will never give yourself a reason to push for achievement. Without dreams, you have no goals. Dream big, after all there is no point in pushing yourself to mediocrity. Dream big but set smaller goals along the way. Every step you take in the right direction is a step closer to your ultimate success. Without small steps you can't monitor your progress. Reward yourself for every success, no matter how small. Not only will this make your journey more pleasurable, you will also be convincing your mind it is on the right track. Dream big, set smaller goals, reward yourself, believe in yourself... and focus. With 100% focus you will operate at 100% efficiency and make progress every day towards your goals. With 100% focus you will feel more relaxed, less stressed and allow your creativity to flow. With 100% focus you will automatically remove any negative thoughts or doubts that have held you back.... And with nothing to hold you back, you are unstoppable.

To Make Me Work, I’ve Got To Make We Work
Let’s face it. You know there’s something more you can contribute than feel isolated in your 9-to-5. You also know you have a unique ability or developing abilities that nobody else has, and can share that with the rest of the world. So why lay those talents and skills dormant to what the world THINKS you ought to be?

What the world NEEDS of you is your ability to work with others and to share with them your individual talents to support your as well as the world’s dreams. Let me clarify that I’m not talking about delusions of grandeur or wishful thinking. Watch a beginning episode of American Idol and that should give you a clue of who hallucinates for stardom versus those who are star-material. And what separates the star from the dreamer is the person who realizes what it truly is, that person has of him/herself to offer to the world. And more than likely a team of people had to believe and support that star in the first place. If the “bigger� market is always in a state of basic supply and demand then consider what this “smaller� person and his total interaction with world had to offer.

Born in 1940 in Bangladesh he spent his childhood years in a village called Bathua and was raised Muslim. A few years later, he moved with his family to the city of Chittagong for his father to run a jewelry business. He was always the studious type but also interested in activities and travel that would complement his studies, such as being involved in the Boy Scouts and the World Scouts Jamboree. During his teen and adolescent years, not only did he travel through Europe and Asia by road to experience cultural activities, but also as thespian means to enhance his drama acting performances.

From 1957 to 1961 he completed his B.A. and M.A. to join the ranks of the Bureau of Economics. Starting off as a research assistant, he was later appointed as a lecturer in economics at a college in Chittagong, the same city where he had spent much of his youth. He was soon offered a Fulbright Scholarship to study in the United States and obtained his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in the United States in 1969 and became an assistant professor in economics at Middle Tennessee States University in 1972.

However in 1976, his research and visits to some of the poorest nearby villages began to channel into a vision that he saw the world desperately needed. He realized that very small loans could make a huge impact to a poor person. Yet traditional banks would not make small-sized, or micro-loans, even at equitable interest rates to the poor since they were considered repayment risks.

Drawing from leadership inspiration from Dr. Khan, a rural development expert, and from what he saw could help both traditional banks as well as the poor, this man by the name of Muhammad Yunus finally succeeded in securing these micro-loans from a government bank to lend to a part of the country’s poor in December 1976. Other banks provided loans to the government bank to help fund the loaned business projects and was later renamed Grameen Bank, which stands for “of village.� To ensure the repayment of these loans, the Grameen Bank uses support or “solidarity groups� to apply together for loans and to use individual members as co-guarantors of repayment. Not only would individual members be held accountable for fiscal repayment, but they would also support each other’s efforts towards their ventured advancements.

To date the Grameen Bank has issued more than $6 billion to over 7 million borrowers and offers loans to various types of public as well as private projects. The Grameen model has inspired very similar efforts throughout developing nations including industrialized nations such as the United States. Finally in 2006 Dr. Muhammad Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize along with the Grameen Bank.

This is a joint award that not only the individual Dr. Yunus deserved but also to the team that shared in that vision. Build your team. Build your dream.

Ideas to stay focused and on purpose.
When you first bring your profession home and begin your stay at home business, you will soon yearn for that tiny little cubicle that you had when you were at an office working for someone else. At least when you were in your own cubicle, you were able to turn your back on impositions and get your work done. However, in an at home atmosphere, this does not always happen. When working for an employer, usually it was a nine to five job where your productivity did not have that much influence on your paycheck at the end of the week. This is not so with your own business. Your salary is DIRECTLY proportional to your productivity. You will need to learn early on in your business how to combat these interruptions, stay focused and on task or you will not be in business for yourself for very long. To be able to overcome your distractions, you will need to recognize where they are coming from. Are they self imposed or are they from family and friends? One self-imposed distraction that can be extremely disruptive is procrastination. It is also easy to fall off task when we have too many interests and try to do all of them at once. This may seem like multi-tasking but really you are just spinning your wheels and exhausting yourself. Self-inflicted distractions are the most difficult to conquer but it can be done. By following a few simple steps, you will have no problem winning against the time wasters. 1. Quiet Time: It is not necessary to step into your office and become involved in the first task on hand immediately. Take a moment to sit and look at your computer and look out of the window. Better yet, step outside for a moment in the morning sun and clear your mind of the daily family activities. This is what you would normally do on your commute from your home to a normal job at an office. Take ten minutes in the morning to begin the transition from family/house life to work life. Begin to think about the projects that are a priority for the day. 2. Create a To Do List: After you have spent a moment “commuting� to work, begin to create a to do list of the projects and tasks that need to be done. It is okay to add to this list throughout the day for additional items that you might have forgotten about. When creating your list, do not just write down a general idea of the project. Give your task a name and break it into milestones. This will eliminate procrastination and make the task easier to manage. This is especially important for long-term projects. Each time you cross off an item on your to do list, it will give you a feeling of accomplishment. 3. Have a Set Schedule for Tasks: Most employees have a set time to work such as your old “nine to five� job. It is also important to follow this same rule when working from home. Have a set time that you will begin work and close up shop at a certain time. Since you own the business, you can choose if you want to work ten hours straight through or break your day into two work periods of five hours each. Also, set a fixed time to answer your email and other daily tasks. You do not have to answer every email that comes to you within minutes of receiving it. Sometimes it is even easier to just turn off your email program all together until your set time. 4. Shut the Door! With smaller children, you will need to address each issue as the need arises. That is not so with older children. They will understand when you tell them you need to work from x to y. Hire an in-home babysitter for younger children or enlist an aunt or grandparent if possible. If the phone becomes a distraction, turn the ringer off for an hour so that you can concentrate on your task. Most of all, do not permit family and friends to distract them. Be firm with them and let them know that you are at work and cannot be disturbed for x amount of time. You will be glad you did. The main key to successfully staying on task while working at home is to identify the problem that exists and nip it in the bud quickly.

Advantages of a Furnished Apartment
The first issue for you to consider whenever you want to rent an apartment is whether you need it for a long period of time or a short one. This is very important because if you are intending to spend more years in an apartment you may consider to make some changes in it. This will be a sort of 'home' for you and the idea is that you should like it. For short-term contracts there are some hotel-type accommodations which offer furnished apartments. These are generally named 'Extended Stay Hotels' or 'Corporate Housing'. The name suggests that the persons who are using this service are sent by their company for a couple of months duties. These furnished apartments are cheaper than a regular hotel-room because you are given a discount for using the apartment for a longer period of time. The annual rentals are the name of the houses and apartments which can be rented for a long period of time. The duration of the contracts for these is in between 6 months and a year. A very pertinent question regarding the matter of renting a furnished apartment is where to find the advertisement or the media aspect which announces an available apartment or house. You can look for them mostly in the 'rentals' or 'apartments' in your local newspaper or the newspaper distributed in the particular town you will move to. You can find many offers in these newspapers and if something attracts you can make a phone-call and the administrator will be most pleased to show you around. You can also look for furnished apartments on the Internet by specifying the city and even the area you would prefer to rent an apartment. There are many websites specialized in this field which will show you the best offers and discounts for the furnished apartments. You should chose the free websites which are paid by the persons who are willing to rent their apartment.This is worthwhile to be mentioned as there are websites which will ask for an amount of money from you so as to present you the available furnished apartments from that town. The price is not standard, yet most of the websites are asking for about $100 for this task and they ask it in advance. Many announcements are made in the local stores or supermarkets and you should be always alerted for any possibilities. Mention to every person you meet that you are in need for a furnished apartment: friends, persons you work with because if they hear about an offer they will let you know.

Looking to where the grass is greener?
Change is as good as a holiday or so it goes.

Is it really? From past experience, some changes can actually make things worse than they were before.

What if the only thing we changed was to deal with things in a different way? Get a different perspective on things?

I've written this article specifically for individuals contemplating change with the idea of making things better, brighter and different. This change could be anything from relationship/s, career, to relocating somewhere else (having a sea change is an example). It could also be in the form of personal development through attending courses, reading and networking.

Whatever it is for you, it may possibly be that what you're searching for is available to you right now, with no need to look very far. It's called inner peace and with it comes a change of perspective - looking at life in a different way. A state of being that will allow you to ‘get on with it' regardless of what's happening in your external environment.

Basically, inner peace is a state of mind where you're not impacted by external circumstances, you simply just ‘are'. Whenever I step into peace no issue agitates me, I have no attachment to anything; I just am. Quite simply, it's peaceful, serene.

Inner peace: It sounds pretty clichéd I know, but it is just that, peace on the inside whilst around you chaos reigns. For me the inside bit is the place I'd rather be. I liken it to watching a game of football from a front row seat. I can see how I relate to others and them to me, in my social, work, spiritual, and family life. I can also see the never ending possibilities of what life has to offer. This is where I get the big picture stuff.

It's a place I love visiting to rebalance, regenerate, and centre myself. When I return and again become aware of my physical environment, the clarity to see how things really are is almost blinding. Clarity: when there is total clearness about everything and anything. It's when actions are totally understood as well as the consequences of those actions.

I've personally yearned for change and have observed others with same. This desire for change can become all encompassing and when change fails to happen the way we'd like it to, or thought it would be, the disappointment can lead to hopelessness and in some ways be emotionally crippling.

The adage ‘The grass is greener on the other side of the fence' is not necessarily true. I've been there done that, although I failed to buy the t-shirt. All I needed mostly was a different way of looking at my situation.

If you're contemplating creating major change in your life think carefully about why you want it in the first place. Maybe a different perspective is all the change that's required.

Give yourself some time to truthfully answer and reflect on the following questions:

1. What would happen if I started to create change for myself?

2. What would happen if I left things unchanged?

3. Who will I become through having that change happen?

4. What needs to happen for me to truly get the most out of life?

5. Where will I be, and what will I be doing once I've changed what I wanted to?

6. How will this change affect your family and other areas of your life?

7. What would happen if you changed your attitude?

8. If you didn't change your attitude what would happen?

9. What is it that I need to do now in order to enjoy life the way it is?

10. Will it be worth it?

11. What will I lose?

12. What will I gain?

13. What are all the positive outcomes if I do not create change? (There's always a positive, even when we perceive something as negative).

I had a huge 10 year goal until recently. After I jotted down all the positive outcomes if I didn't pursue my dream, I sighed with relief. It was much better for me and the family, not to have this particular outcome.

Change can be challenging and scary. What was known before becomes outdated, friendships are outgrown, new ones are formed, and if things were comfortable previously, now it's time to become comfortable with the uncomfortable. Adjustment takes time. Learning to access inner peace can take time too.

Some people fully immerse themselves in the change process, whereby others may take a little while longer and that's ok too. It's different for each of the six billion people on this planet.

May change in whatever form you choose bring you success and abundance in all things great and wonderful.

The CEO And The Yellow Notepad
It was just a Yellow, Legal sized Notepad, but it made this millionaire CEO's sales force more productive, less stressed and happier, at work and at home.

How could a simple yellow notepad have such power?

Here is the story:

The millionaire CEO gave each of his employees a yellow, legal sized notepad and a pen. He also gave
them these instructions:

1. Carry the notepad and pen with you at all times during your workday. Keep it handy, and within reach.

2. In the morning write down a short "To Do" list in the notepad,list the things you want to accomplish that day.

3. During the day use the notepad to capture every name and phone number of anyone you talk to, write down email addresses, flight times and reservation numbers, meeting times and dates, record virtually every bit of important data into your yellow notepad.

Here is how they benefited from this simple positive habit, and how you can also, regardless of who you are, or what you do. (businessmen,housewives, students, CEO's, etc.)

1. When you need to call someone back, their number is always just a glance away.

2. What was that fight number again? What was that policy number
the insurance agent gave you 3 days ago? What were the directions to the wedding? It's all in your yellow notepad!

3. It helps you keep track of your "To Do" list action items.

Your yellow notepad becomes a Rolodex, Meeting Planner, Map, and one stop source for all of your important information that you gather every day. (Remember how you used to jot down that information on little bits of paper? Remember how you could never find that one piece of paper with the phone number you needed?)

You will not believe how many ways this little positive habit will benefit your life! You will be less stressed, more efficient at everything you do, and your friends, relatives and co-workers will always know that you have the important information at your fingertips.

Self Esteem: You Are Not Who You Think You Are
David sat in front of me at one of my five-day intensive workshops. A successful businessman with a wife and two grown children, David believed that he was not good enough.

?I?m insufficient,? he said. ?I?m inadequate.?

I looked at this kind man and felt deep sadness for him. He did not know who he was.

?Why do you believe that?? I asked.

?I didn?t do well in school, and I?ve made lots of mistakes in my life.?

?So you are basing your worth on your performance, right??

?Of course.?

David could not conceive of any other way of defining his worth other than through his performance ? which he never saw as good enough.

I asked David to look inside ? at the essence of himself - and tell me what he sees. All he saw was emptiness.

?David, please close your eyes. Now imagine a wonderful being who loves you very much. Who comes to mind??

?My grandfather. He died when I was young, but he really loved me.?

?Good. Now imagine that you are seeing yourself through the eyes of your grandfather. What does your grandfather see when he looks at you??

?He sees a bright and creative little boy, who is very kind and caring. A loving little boy. A little boy who is funny and likes to laugh, and likes to make other people laugh.?

?Is there anything wrong with this little boy? Anything inadequate or insufficient??

?Oh no! He is a wonderful little boy.?

?David, this is who you really are. You are not your performance. Your performance will come and go and at some point you might retire and not perform at all. Yet that does not mean that you are, therefore, worthless. Your worth is in who you are, not in what you do. Your worth in intrinsic.?

David realized that, because of his highly critical and rejecting parents, he had always been trying to prove himself and always came up short in their eyes. As a result of seeing himself as unworthy and inadequate, he did not treat himself well. He treated himself the way his parents had treated him ? with criticism and neglect. He was always trying to take care of everyone else, but rarely thought about taking care of himself. He was constantly abandoning himself emotionally, just as he had been emotionally abandoned by his parents.

?David, if you chose to see yourself as your grandfather saw you rather than how your parents saw you, how would you feel about yourself and how would you treat yourself??

?I?ve just been thinking about that. I just realized that I treat my dog better than I treat myself! I would never judge my dog the way I judge myself.?

?So what would you do differently if you saw yourself the way your grandfather sees you??

?I would stop judging myself as insufficient and inadequate. I?m a really good person. I am not at all insufficient or inadequate as a person. And I choose my friends based on who they are as people ? not on their performance. So I obviously value the very qualities that I possess!?

?What else would you do if you really valued who you are??

?I would listen to my own feelings and take care of my own needs instead of taking care of everyone else?s feelings and needs. I would no longer see it as selfish to take care of myself instead of taking care of everyone else. I would be at least as attentive to myself as I am to my dog!?

David was glowing. He was discovering who he really is, not who he thought he was.

People often think that their worth ? who they really are ? is based on looks and performance. Yet these qualities are transitory. What is real and eternal is who you are in your heart and soul. If you shift your definition of your worth from outer to inner, you will stop trying to prove yourself. You will know that you are already a beautiful being, totally deserving of love.

Why Procrastinators Are More Optimistic
Why Procrastinators Are More Optimistic
When Facts Show They Are:
Less Healthy - Less Wealthy - Less Happy

It's well known that procrastinators do not get as much done, which often means less money and more stress. And not just for the procrastinator, but those who have to work or live with procrastinators.

According to one study, in 1978, 5% of the population admitted to procrastinating, today it's at 26%. Who knows how much that is costing us!

It's estimated that 90% of the population procrastinate at one time or another.

Males procrastinate more than females, and younger people procrastinate more than older people.

Psychology Today Magazine states that procrastinators sabotage themselves, put obstacles in their own way, and choose paths that hurt their performance.

Here's why it's getting worse…

Your health is suffering

A study was completed over a 6 month period showing that procrastinating lowers your immune system reducing resistance to colds and flu as well as stomach problems. The same people also suffered from insomnia.

Procrastinators consume more alcohol than they intent to, which is another outcome of poor self-regulation.

Your wealth is suffering

People who are sicker pay more for wellness and that increases the burden on healthcare, and insurance companies who raise your rates and reduce benefits.

Late tax filers spend approximately $400 more that on time filers.

If you don't pay your bills on time you are charged higher interest and fees, sometimes more than 28% interest and that's after tax amounts. It's no wonder the poor keep getting poorer.

Procrastinators miss opportunities for free items, lose out cashing in gift certificates and cheques. Last minute Christmas shoppers miss bargains and quality merchandise even doing without sometimes.

Your happiness is suffering

William Knaus, a psychologist, estimated that 90% of college students procrastinate. Of these students, 25% are chronic procrastinators and they are usually the ones who end up dropping out of college.

Missing birthdays, anniversaries and other important dates leads to broken relationships and resentment.

Poor health and less wealth create low self esteem and added stress which can lead to unhappiness and depression, which means less health and less wealth.
It's a vicious circle.

Consequently…

People are too busy at work and too tired at home, creating chronic procrastinators who become chronically stressed. This can lead to serious and life threatening illnesses, according to the American Institute of Stress.

The American Institute of Stress list 50 common signs and symptoms of stress some of which are: Frequent headaches, insomnia, allergy attacks and addictions.

Then why are procrastinators more optimistic?

Well, it seems that procrastinators tell lies to themselves, according to the world's leading experts on procrastination, associate professors of psychology Joseph Ferrari, Ph.D of De Paul University in Chicago and Timothy Pychyl, Ph.D at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.

Well haven't we all said it at one time, "I'll feel more like doing this tomorrow". And when tomorrow comes you don't feel anymore like doing it than you did yesterday. It was a big fat lie!

And have you used these old standbys: "I work best under pressure - ah it's not that important - being short of time makes me more creative".

All big fat lies! According to the experts you don't turn out to be more creative, you only feel that way, and you waste away your resources and get more stressed...

And that's why you hang your head at night when the day is done and the work isn't.

Five major reasons why you procrastinate…
1. The simplest reason you procrastinate is you don't want to do it. Why? Usually because of reasons 2, 3, 4 and 5.
2. One of the main reasons you procrastinate is you don't know what to do. The job or task you have is not clear to you and the steps aren't laid out, there is no direction, and you don't know where to start.
3. Another reason you procrastinate is you want to feel good now. But how can you feel good now when you have this project or task to do before you can feel good? And if you do not have a compelling picture of the completed task there is no promise of ever feeling good.
4. The fourth reason is fear of failure. And you can't even begin to consider being successful if you don't know exactly what it is you are going to do, and how the end result will turn out.
5. And the fifth reason is, like you need another, you have way too much to handle. You eat, sleep and breath overwhelm. Your prayer at night is "I hope I die before I wake so someone else this job will take".

As a result…

You will never know how much procrastinating has cost you. You can't add up all your time wasted, money spent, opportunities lost or emotional toil due to your procrastinating.

You can't change the past but you don't have to repeat it.

There is an old saying, "when is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. When is the next best time to plant a tree? Today"!

It's a fact that procrastinators are made not born...we usually learn it in the family environment. That means we can re-learn a better way.

Procrastinators are not bad planners or organizers. You must be an exceptional planner/organizer to juggle and put things off as well as you do.

So don't run out and buy a daily planner to get organized or beat yourself up for not doing things because it's not about that.

It's about getting past the problem of procrastinating.

You can take the slow way and figure out how you procrastinate, what makes you procrastinate, and take steps to form a plan to do things better. Or you can hire a professional with the ability to do this for you, so you can get things done and feel good about yourself while doing it.

So start now by considering how you will be as a person when procrastination and overwhelm is no longer a problem for you.

"Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task."
