The World's Best Productivity Strategy - Part Two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In part one of this series, we discussed how "Saying No" is the world's&lt;br /&gt;
best, fastest and easiest productivity strategy, primarily because it&lt;br /&gt;
simplifies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will succeed on the basis of what, where and how you say "no". And&lt;br /&gt;
"Saying NO" allows you to get more control over your daily life and&lt;br /&gt;
activities--IMMEDIATELY!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For these remaining 100 days of the year, you must resolve to give "NO" the&lt;br /&gt;
strategic resolve it deserves!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following are fifteen simple, effective and empowering strategies that&lt;br /&gt;
you can use to get results--IMMEDIATELY!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. What strategies, initiatives and activities will you say "no" to?&lt;br /&gt;
There is great feeling, focus, empowerment, and impact when everyone agrees&lt;br /&gt;
on paper the activities that will not be done. &lt;br /&gt;
Pull out a piece of paper and list all of the superfluous activities that&lt;br /&gt;
can slow down, or prevent progress from happening altogether.&lt;br /&gt;
Everything is fair game and absolutely nothing is sacred in this exercise.&lt;br /&gt;
Simply put, if it does not advance you forward, then say no!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. What meetings will you decline or delegate?&lt;br /&gt;
List every meeting you have in place for the remainder of the year and&lt;br /&gt;
determine which you will NOT be attending. &lt;br /&gt;
Meetings consume large chunks of productive time, most are run improperly&lt;br /&gt;
and inefficiently, and most can be declined or delegated to someone else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. What relationships will you not keep?&lt;br /&gt;
The way you manage your relationships has an enormous  impact on your&lt;br /&gt;
ability to perform at consistently high levels. &lt;br /&gt;
Identify the top three energy-draining relationships, that you are committed&lt;br /&gt;
to saying "no" to for the next 100 days. &lt;br /&gt;
Then focus on creating strategies to free yourself from each of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What measurements will you ignore?&lt;br /&gt;
Say goodbye to all lagging indicators and ONLY pay attention to measurements&lt;br /&gt;
related to customer satisfaction and the levers that directly drive sales,&lt;br /&gt;
margin, operating expense and ROI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. What customers will you not target?&lt;br /&gt;
Identify your IDEAL prospect, client or customer and quit chasing every&lt;br /&gt;
opportunity as it's a complete waste of time and resources. Once identified,&lt;br /&gt;
you must then articulate who you will NOT target.&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, make decisions on segments of your customers that deserve "VIP"&lt;br /&gt;
treatment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. What competitors will you not follow?&lt;br /&gt;
Way too much time is lost by following and focusing on too many competitors&lt;br /&gt;
and so-called guru's. Identify the top three and immediately remove yourself&lt;br /&gt;
from all of the other email distribution lists, blogs and other related&lt;br /&gt;
communications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What websites will you not visit?&lt;br /&gt;
Web sites are like magnets and vampires, as they draw you in and suck away&lt;br /&gt;
productive time. Pull up your list of favorites, delete most of them and&lt;br /&gt;
keep only the ones of greatest value. You must institute a "No Surfing"&lt;br /&gt;
policy and stick to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. What money will you not spend?&lt;br /&gt;
Put yourself on a fiscal diet as every dollar spent should be thought of as&lt;br /&gt;
an investment towards greater operating income -- even petty cash. With this&lt;br /&gt;
in mind, what things, or even entire budget categories, will you not spend?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9. What trips will you not make?&lt;br /&gt;
It's hard to deny the power of 'showing up' in person as great things happen&lt;br /&gt;
when you show up and interact with customers and colleagues. Nonetheless,&lt;br /&gt;
trips consume massive gobs of time and money. &lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, consider how you can use technology to replace trips, and only&lt;br /&gt;
travel when it can make a big impact towards your primary goals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10. What foods will you not eat?&lt;br /&gt;
Reaching the next level of performance and productivity begins with how you&lt;br /&gt;
manage energy. It's disturbing to see the immense amount of human and&lt;br /&gt;
corporate potential squandered due to the misuse of energy.&lt;br /&gt;
Unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, negativity, sarcasm, unfocused&lt;br /&gt;
goals and strategies are all contributing factors to energy loss. Focus in&lt;br /&gt;
on your nutritional intake and exercise by eliminating any food, or drink&lt;br /&gt;
that compromises your energy levels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11. What excuses will you not engage in?&lt;br /&gt;
Excuses drain energy, time, production and profits. Have a brutally honest&lt;br /&gt;
conversation with yourself and determine the excuses or behaviors that you&lt;br /&gt;
must do away with. I'm aware that it's easier said than done, but you will&lt;br /&gt;
NOT be able to achieve your true potential by fighting for and repeating&lt;br /&gt;
useless behavior.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12. What will you not say?&lt;br /&gt;
Develop the habit of saying NOTHING that does not move the 'agenda' forward&lt;br /&gt;
or uplift others. Speak ONLY of the solution, and waste not a second on the&lt;br /&gt;
problem or blame. &lt;br /&gt;
You will save a lot of time and mental energy which can be directed towards&lt;br /&gt;
more useful activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13. What thoughts will you not entertain?&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that which does not move you towards your goal, takes you away from&lt;br /&gt;
it. Therefore remove those thoughts that are limiting, defeating or&lt;br /&gt;
downright negative and consciously choose to replace them with thoughts of&lt;br /&gt;
abundance, optimism, and positivity. Don't tolerate negative thoughts or&lt;br /&gt;
conversations from yourself or others. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14. What television shows will you not view?&lt;br /&gt;
If there was ever a time hog that needed to be slaughtered, television tops&lt;br /&gt;
the list.  In even a moderate TV-watching household, it's simply amazing how&lt;br /&gt;
many hours are spent in front of the box. The solution--go cold turkey!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15. What will you no longer tolerate from yourself or others?&lt;br /&gt;
Saying "no" and meaning it is the easiest word for setting a limit, holding&lt;br /&gt;
firm to boundaries, and being clear about what you will or will not do.&lt;br /&gt;
Identify the standards you wish to measure your life by and refuse to lower&lt;br /&gt;
or negotiate at any time, nor for any reason. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No is a tool Use the veto power of "No" regularly and with conviction as&lt;br /&gt;
it's a powerful strategic weapon that you can use to maximize your results&lt;br /&gt;
in the final 100 days of this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES, YES, YES&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's now focus on what you should say "yes" to. How does greater wealth,&lt;br /&gt;
health and happiness sound to you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say the word--yes, and give me the next 100 days and I'll turn you into an&lt;br /&gt;
unstoppable powerhouse!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beginning September 22nd, I'm going to be releasing The 100 Day Finish&lt;br /&gt;
Strong Challenge at &lt;a href="http://www.100daychallenge.com/"&gt;www.100DayChallenge.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's going to be a wild ride, and I'll be IN YOUR FACE every step of the way&lt;br /&gt;
for 100 straight days until I help you achieve every goal you want to&lt;br /&gt;
achieve!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say the word--yes, and I'll teach you about commitment and absolute&lt;br /&gt;
accountability. I'll prove to you that you can deliver results that are in a&lt;br /&gt;
word--astounding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Tina&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;p&gt;Subject: The World&amp;#39;s Best Productivity Strategy - Part One&lt;p&gt;We are all staring down the barrel of the same reality--&lt;br /&gt;
the clock is ticking and no matter how you look at it, &lt;br /&gt;
we are approaching the home stretch of 2011.&lt;p&gt;You must consider the remaining 100 days of this year &lt;br /&gt;
as a now or never opportunity to finish the year strong, &lt;br /&gt;
to exceed expectations, and for some use it as a final &lt;br /&gt;
chance at redemption.&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s cut right to the chase, by looking at the results of &lt;br /&gt;
your actions year to date, that REALITY tells you if you &lt;br /&gt;
have been successful or not in achieving the goals you &lt;br /&gt;
set earlier this year.&lt;p&gt;As it relates to your goals, your demonstrated actions &lt;br /&gt;
have allowed you to be in one of three positions.&lt;p&gt;You have either:&lt;p&gt;1. Exceeded your expectations of what you thought you &lt;br /&gt;
could achieve.&lt;p&gt;2. Met expectations of what you set out to accomplish.&lt;p&gt;3. Fallen below your desired expectations of what you &lt;br /&gt;
wanted to accomplish.&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, in today&amp;#39;s economy, far too many people &lt;br /&gt;
find themselves struggling and well below where they &lt;br /&gt;
would like to be. &lt;p&gt;The GOOD NEWS is that regardless of the position you are &lt;br /&gt;
currently in, you CAN finish the year strong, however you &lt;br /&gt;
must do a few things in the manner presented in the next &lt;br /&gt;
few paragraphs.&lt;p&gt;As someone who participates in or leads more than fifty &lt;br /&gt;
strategy sessions per year, I&amp;#39;m well aware that we all began &lt;br /&gt;
this year with great hope and determination. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m also well aware that many goals and plans fall far from &lt;br /&gt;
being realized.&lt;p&gt;THE SOLUTION&lt;p&gt;So what specifically can you do in order to capture the &lt;br /&gt;
brass ring? Work harder? Longer?&lt;p&gt;You don&amp;#39;t stand a chance of succeeding with that strategy, &lt;br /&gt;
yet that is exactly what the majority of people will do.&lt;p&gt;Why not do something entirely different, why not focus on &lt;br /&gt;
saying NO!&lt;p&gt;Consisting of two letters and one syllable, the word &amp;quot;No&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
can be considered to be one of the most powerful words &lt;br /&gt;
in your vocabulary.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s the easiest word for setting a limit, holding firm to &lt;br /&gt;
boundaries, and being clear about what you will or will not &lt;br /&gt;
do. It is a word of pure power that is both inner and out &lt;br /&gt;
directed.&lt;p&gt;You will be a lot more productive once you recognize that:&lt;p&gt;1. &amp;quot;No&amp;quot; is not a dirty word, negative word, nor is it &lt;br /&gt;
a selfish word. Learning to say &amp;quot;No&amp;quot; is liberating as it &lt;br /&gt;
frees up your time to focus on your key priorities.&lt;p&gt;2. You are in complete control of how you spend your &lt;br /&gt;
time and your life. Saying &amp;quot;No&amp;quot; allows you more time and &lt;br /&gt;
energy to pursue your goals and wildest ambitions.&lt;p&gt;3. Saying, &amp;quot;No,&amp;quot; increases the value of the things you &lt;br /&gt;
say, &amp;quot;Yes&amp;quot; to. Your success over the next 100 days requires &lt;br /&gt;
a short &amp;quot;Yes&amp;quot; list, and a long &amp;quot;No&amp;quot; list. &lt;p&gt;The key is an awareness and prioritization of your &amp;quot;Yes&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
list, and firm boundaries around your &amp;quot;No&amp;quot; list as QUICKLY &lt;br /&gt;
as possible.&lt;p&gt;Saying &amp;quot;NO&amp;quot; is the most strategic decision you can make. You &lt;br /&gt;
improve yourself, your family, and your organization&amp;#39;s &lt;br /&gt;
effectiveness--IMMEDIATELY!&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;No&amp;quot; is empowering because it simplifies. You will succeed &lt;br /&gt;
on the basis of what, where and how you say &amp;quot;no&amp;quot;. And &amp;quot;NO&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
allows you to get more control over your daily life and &lt;br /&gt;
activities--IMMEDIATELY!&lt;p&gt;We need to say &amp;quot;NO&amp;quot;, but we&amp;#39;re not very good at it. In business &lt;br /&gt;
we give it another name. &amp;quot;prioritization&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;strategic planning. &lt;p&gt;But then we get back to day-to-day activities and we quickly &lt;br /&gt;
forget what we prioritized and planned. We end up letting the &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;no&amp;#39;s&amp;quot; creep back in.&lt;p&gt;For these remaining 100 days of the year, you must resolve to &lt;br /&gt;
give &amp;quot;NO&amp;quot; the strategic resolve it deserves and in the second &lt;br /&gt;
part of this post, I&amp;#39;ll share FIFTEEN simple, effective and&lt;br /&gt;
empowering strategies (personal and professional) that you &lt;br /&gt;
can use to get results--IMMEDIATELY!&lt;p&gt;In the meantime, you are invited to pass this note along &lt;br /&gt;

There is part of you that knows what you should do, and a part of you that does what it feels like doing. &lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t let passion drive you, let reason hold the reins. &lt;p&gt;Once you understand these opposing forces warring within you, with this knowledge of the truth:  you no longer remain a slave.  A clear understanding of this will make you the master of your life. &lt;p&gt;Resistance is your thoughts transformed into feelings.&lt;br&gt;Change the thoughts that create the resistance, and there is no more resistance.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Are you controlled by your thoughts or are you controlling your thoughts? If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;If you are ruled by your mind you are a king, if by your body, a slave.&lt;p&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&amp;#169; 2010 YourDailyMotivation.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6524326228104100559-5744039306985028793?l=tinalroman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

That &amp;quot;5 minutes&amp;quot; would inevitably turn into 10&lt;br&gt;minutes, which would then turn into 15, then . or, if one does not have a&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;willing, gullible mother&amp;quot; there&amp;#39;s always the clock radio with the ever&lt;br&gt;powerful snooze button. (Why do they have them anyway?)&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s a common habit for many, many people to always &amp;quot;push the snooze&lt;br&gt;button,&amp;quot; or more simply put, &amp;quot;procrastinate.&amp;quot; I guess I learned the hard way&lt;br&gt;that &amp;quot;procrastination is not the best way to do things and get them&lt;br&gt;accomplished.&amp;quot; &lt;p&gt;In high school I was always &amp;quot;putting things off&amp;quot; or procrastinating. It did&lt;br&gt;not seem to matter, as I was always making great grades, but always pushing&lt;br&gt;it to the limits. If I had a huge final, it did not matter as, apparently,&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;God would always watch out for me in high school&amp;quot; because I would always&lt;br&gt;(barely, but always) get the work done. That&amp;#39;s how I &amp;quot;preferred&amp;quot; it (I&lt;br&gt;thought); I thought I was invincible; at least in regard to my&lt;br&gt;procrastinating ways.&lt;p&gt;That method of studying seemed to work well as a freshman in college also,&lt;br&gt;as well as the first semester of my sophomore year. I even procrastinated on&lt;br&gt;one of my first semester sophomore finals, not taking exams until after the&lt;br&gt;Christmas break. I did well and thought again: &amp;quot;Procrastination did not hurt&lt;br&gt;me at all.&amp;quot; However, very soon I learned life was not so easy, as two weeks&lt;br&gt;after I took that &amp;quot;make up final&amp;quot; my entire life changed forever, as well as&lt;br&gt;my desire to procrastinate.&lt;p&gt;I was seriously injured, suffering a traumatic brain injury. Most physicians&lt;br&gt;and lay people did not believe I would survive, much less return to college,&lt;br&gt;much less be a functioning member of society ever again. It was not easy. &lt;p&gt;However, I have learned life is not supposed to be easy. Eighteen months&lt;br&gt;after almost losing my life and spending those months in painful therapy I&lt;br&gt;returned to college. Back at college I could now not &amp;quot;skip&amp;quot; my classes as I&lt;br&gt;previously had. My traumatic brain injury obligated me to work hard in order&lt;br&gt;to comprehend the material, and that meant attending all classes and&lt;br&gt;lectures.&lt;p&gt;However, after four years back at college I graduated at the top of my class&lt;br&gt;with many honors. Smiling and limping as I crossed the stage to accept my&lt;br&gt;diploma from the dean, I realized that all my painful and difficult work was&lt;br&gt;worth everything, as, again, I realized that &amp;quot;anything in life that&amp;#39;s worth&lt;br&gt;doing, rarely comes easily.&amp;quot; As I accepted the diploma from the dean I&lt;br&gt;chuckled inwardly as I asked myself, &amp;quot;What&amp;#39;s procrastination?&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;However, years later, I learned another lesson in regard to procrastination.&lt;p&gt;My family was going to my cousin&amp;#39;s wedding in New York City in the late&lt;br&gt;1990s. Our hotel was directly across the street from the World Trade Towers.&lt;br&gt;I thought about climbing all the stairs to the top (for exercise; to set a&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;goal&amp;quot;; and simply because I wanted to prove that I could do it). Looking&lt;br&gt;from my hotel room at one of the &amp;quot;Towers&amp;quot; I thought, &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s already getting&lt;br&gt;close to the time when we have to get ready for the wedding, plus, the&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Towers&amp;quot; will be there when I return on another trip.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Little could I ever imagine what would happen on September 11, 2001, and&lt;br&gt;that the Towers would NOT be there for a return trip.&lt;p&gt;Looking back, I realize what might happen when one &amp;quot;puts off for another&lt;br&gt;day&amp;quot; what he can do today. Sometimes the tomorrows never come about. One&lt;br&gt;should never put off until tomorrow what one can do today: climbing a&lt;br&gt;skyscraper, saying you love someone, visiting friends in a hospital. They&lt;br&gt;are all important. One never knows what the future holds in store for you.&lt;br&gt;That is why if you look in the dictionary you will find a definition as&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;right now&amp;quot; for &amp;quot;present.&amp;quot; No one knows what the future will be.&lt;p&gt;The present is a gift -- that is why it is called &amp;quot;present&amp;quot; -- it&amp;#39;s a gift&lt;br&gt;to you -- remember that and live life accordingly.&lt;p&gt;C2009 by Michael Jordan Segal; all rights reserved&lt;p&gt;Michael Jordan Segal, who defied all odds after being shot in the head, is a&lt;br&gt;husband, father, social worker, freelance author (including a CD/Download of&lt;br&gt;12 stories, read with light backgroud music, entitled POSSIBLE), and&lt;br&gt;inspirational speaker, sharing his recipe for happiness, recovery and&lt;br&gt;success before conferences and businesses.

See it, feel it, believe in it. Your mind is your mental workshop.&lt;p&gt;You can build anything you want in it. The beginning of your success is in your imagination.&lt;p&gt;Make your mental blue print and then begin construction.&lt;br&gt;See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. &lt;p&gt;Use your imagination to perceive your new reality even when it&amp;#39;s not fully materialized.  Remember, you must first clearly see a thing in your mind before you can do it or have it.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality.&lt;p&gt;First think, then organize your thoughts into plans. Then transform your thoughts into reality by taking some positive action.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;See the things you want as already yours. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession.&lt;p&gt;Picture yourself as having already achieved your goal. Dreams and ideas can cross continents and oceans.&lt;br&gt;They go anywhere you can go.&lt;p&gt;What you see is what you get.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&amp;#169; 2010 YourDailyMotivation.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6524326228104100559-8143456678572232824?l=tinalroman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
