Like trying to recall the details of a dream you had last night as it slips away from your mind, you struggle to recall what the idea was. Sometimes it comes back, and sometimes it gets lost and you end up moving on without it. Most of the time this isn’t a big deal, but some of these lost ideas could have turned into great opportunities if only you could re

Getting good at something is often harder than it looks. It usually takes more time and effort than you initially think, but one word that stands out from nearly all others to describe what it really takes to improve: focus.

You can clearly see how to get something done and the path of action you need to take is clear, making you much more likely to take that action and s

Do you want to make the most of your time? Work a little harder now so you can relax for a lot longer later? Everybody only has 24 hours in a day, but what you do now can make a big difference in how much time you can spend on things you want to do later. Or you might want to spend the same amount of time on something but get more out of it.

In my previous post, It All Starts with Organization, I recommended near the end to make a plan for any effort of more than very minor complexity. But if you spend forever planning and never take action, what good is making the plan? Planning to the right level of detail for the task at hand is important for success, but so is knowing when you’ve planned enough to prevent being mired in “analysis paralysis”. In this post, I present three basic types of planning that can be us
