Is Your To Do List Doing You In?

I am remembering a cross country ski clinic I participated in more than a few years back and a subsequent critique of my style and form. I can still hear the instructor's words as she said, "There are many things wrong here; we can only work on one."

Your to do list is doing you in. Could it be planning, staffing, competence?  Delegation, leadership or organizational growth?" In reality, it is probably a combination of many different things.

The pressure is on so what do you do? You work on you. You gather, prioritize and connect. You lay your cards on the table and you renegotiate expectations.

Thinking of sliding into the corner, under the desk, or behind the door? Don't do it. Not only is that not productive, there simply is not enough time.

I am not particularly comfortable or confident in this online world. I have been blogging for just over 2 years, twittering just a few months and still playing with Facebook. To say I feel 2 steps behind, on a good day, is generous. Yet, I have no intention of jumping off the grid any time soon.

I am jumping in with both feet and invite you to join me. Why? There are amazing possibilities online. There are people from different professions, backgrounds, time zones and generations. They bring their thoughts, ideas, opinions, and questions. They are generous and curious. Don't be surprised, but they are looking for you too.

Talk about unprecedented reach.
