Start your day by thinking about the day. If possible, sit down at your desk or (even better, in a conference room or quiet office) and "imagine" it's 5:30 or so in the afternoon. What can you imagine will have happened over the next 8 (or 10, or 12!) hours? Some questions to ask: - Who did you talk do? - What did you work on? - What meetings did you attend?

Anyone know the number one use (according to surveys) of mobile phones? (See below.). As I reviewed this info-graphic, I thought, "How am I using my mobile phones/devices to learn, grow, communicate and improve?" I came up with a list, see below: iPod Touch: Listen to podcasts and watch videos about things I'm learning and researching. iPad: Review a "slide presentation" where I have 50 visualizations of goals for this year.

Last Tuesday, I had a great dinner with a new friend just outside of Boston, founder of Elite Leadership Solutions: Bob Maitland. During our conversation, he told me about the business incubator program at Hannah Grimes , here in Keene, NH. One visit to the website, www.HannahGrimes.com , and I realized that Hannah Grimes is not just a person (born in 1776), but an idea.

How many meetings started a few minutes late yesterday? Wait "on hold" when you called someone on the phone? Arrive somewhere early, anticipating traffic? One of the ways people improve their productivity and workplace performance is to be ready for these little breaks during the day when you "thought" you'd be doing something else. Taking advantage of "lost time" means you're able to move from one thing to the next, being as focused as possible on the MITs (those Most Important Things).

I s'pose I grew up thinking that people who were in a leadership position simply knew things I didn't; that they had some secret decoder ring (yeah, I'm dating myself with that one, huh?) that gave them an insider's knowledge. It just seemed that the successful (students, teachers, consultants, business owners.) people had something I couldn't have.

Etc. Hard Choices. (Inspired by Bloomburg Businessweek Magazine.the very last page of each issue.). "Think About What You Have To Do, and Do Something You're Thinking About.". Serving my local community as a high school teacher for 4 years, I learned a lot about customer service and the ability to take action. With classes as big as 34 students, it was absolutely necessary for us to work together to make things possible.

How much of your day is spent running to.or returning from.meetings? Attending a Meeting: Tip #1. Confirm the location, start and end times and any specific information you might need so you get there in time/on time. If you are going to a new building, for example, identify if you'll need ID to get in, and find out how much time you need to get there.
