About Lesson

Set Your Baseline

Let’s begin by setting your baseline with these 4 practical tips:

1) Be the Meerkat

Looking up and ahead is the behavioural change I ask you to adopt. Like the Meerkat, look up and ahead.

The Meerkat is a key time management technique to help you look up and ahead.

2) Get the Rabbit Running

Start small and jumpstart those tasks by getting the rabbit running.

Getting the rabbit running is all about starting tasks.

 

3) Poke the Swiss Cheese

Make a start on a big and horrible task. It is a wonderful feeling to have slain the procrastinator inside of you.

Poking holes in Swiss cheese is a technique for chipping away at tasks to get the job done.

4) Build Snowballs

When you start a task, it begins to take on a life of its own.
