What are you going to achieve this week?
personal developmentSo, monday morning again folks. What are you going to achieve this week?
If you’ve not done it already pick at least one thing you’ve been putting off and resolve to complete it before friday, Imagine if you did that every week how much more you’d get done..
What’s your focus in your training this week? What aspect of your training currently needs the most work? What’s one thing you’d really like to try but haven’t yet?
Try this little challenge:
Get a sheet of paper or (subtle hint) USE YOUR TRAINING NOTE BOOK. Each day this week take a moment from your day and write down an answer to the the following questions.
That’s just a couple of minutes out of your day over a cuppa. If you do that even for the next 7 days you could end up with 21 good ideas/tasks completed. Imagine if you did that for a month, a quarter, or a year just how much you could achieve.
That, in a nutshell, is the principle of Kaizen.
