Definitely Nikki, you sound like me. Give yourself a timeline that is looming very quickly and it’s amazing what you can achieve. That said sometimes there’s a lot you can do in preparation to ease some of this `deadline’ stress too.

I agree Rebecca. It’s been a great incentive to see how productive I can be in 30 minutes but I think it also forces you to quit doing time wasting activities. Yesterday in a town plaza I managed to write my WomanzWorld newsletter in almost 30 minutes because I had friends waiting for me and I could barely see my screen in the sunshine. I hate to think of the lack of proofing I got to do but I did feel like I accomplished a lot.

Lists are also great so long as you don’t pile too much on them and acknowledge that at the end of the day they may only be 60-70% complete not always 100%. When you do that then I think you can view them and feel pleased at what you’ve accomplished.

I also love the “30 minute” comment. I tend to procrastinate, but I know it’s because I work best under time pressure. Some people just need to feel the heat in order to be productive. If you can even when it’s not TRULY crunch time, more power to ya!

Hi Natalie,

Thanks for the great post. I think the advice of giving yourself 30 minutes to get a task done is a great time management skill. And also really helps prioritize. If I know I only have 30 minutes each morning to read as many of my favorite bloggers as possible, I’d really pick the ones that truly make a difference in my life.

I would also say that making lists is extremely helpful for me. Working towards being able to cross something off it is often the motivation I need to get things done. Is there any better feeling than seeing a list half finished? Perhaps just knowing the other half will be done soon too

Thanks again for the post.

Rebecca

Several of those mistakes ring a bell and I’m with Natalie & Lori in that #8 might ring the loudest bell. Sometimes we don’t realize how much we take on and how ridiculous it would be to really do it all!

Thanks for the thoughtful insight and tips!

It’s great to see a study showing that women say that one of the top five reasons for starting a business is to build wealth. Traditionally, women do not set high growth goals and building wealth is NOT one of their goals. This often holds back the growth of ther companies. While this was a very specific population (founders of hi-tech companies), hopefully more and more women will embrace creating personal wealth as a business goal.
