“You tell yourself you can change careers soon or make more time for yourself and your family someday. But what if ‘someday’ never comes?

• Are you ready to play a bigger game and perform at a higher level?
• Are you facing a big task, a new role, or a different direction?
• Have you considered the true cost of not moving forward?
• Do you have the courage required to accept that “fine” is not nearly enough?

 If you answered yes to any of these questions, join me, Katana Abbott, as I interview 9/11 survivor, Mike Jaffe, The Human WakeUp Call™ about his new book Wake Up Your Life is Calling!

Vicky and I just finished an interview with author, Michael Linenberger, on Smart Women Talk Radio and I have to share this fabulous tip with you on time management and managing your To-Do List!

I don’t know about you, but the last thing I want is a two page “To-Do List” on my desk looking at me square in the face each morning when I arrive ready to start my day.

In fact, Linenberger states that research shows that individuals with long To-Do Lists experience symptoms similar to ADD and tend to lose focus, become less affective and lose discrimination as to what is even important anymore.

I believe that an unmanaged To-Do list can knock our confidence creating that, “I am a loser” syndrome, simply because we are in a state of overwhelm.

In Linenberg’s bestselling book, Master Your Workday Now! Linenberg has created a fabulous Workday Mastery To-Do List designed to help you:

• Gain Control
• Get Creative
• Connect your workday to your life purpose

I love this! He states that Workday Mastery will help give you the feeling and knowledge that your life and business are flowing more effortlessly, your goals are clear and objective, and your career is developing just the way you want it to (in line with your values).

In his book, Linenberger goes into detail on how to manage tasks with his “Now Task List”.Many of you may already be familiar with my Perfect Life Time System made up of Perfect Days, Prep Days and Power Days which is based on how to schedule and focus each day to stay rejuvenated by leveraging your time, energy and money.The Now Task List is how to manage your To-Do List, so they are a perfect marriage!

ACTION:

Linenberger suggests creating ONE LIST and break it up into three categories:

• Critical Now nly 5 items (must do today) and states that you look at this list hourly
• Opportunity Now: only 20 items (due in next 10 days) and look at this list daily
• Over the Horizon:everything else (due over 10 days) and update this list weekly

I use a 90 Day Project Worksheet listing all my projects and their tasks by category.Next I take those tasks and move them to Linenberger’s Now Task List.It’s perfect! Doesn’t just reading about this take your stomach ache away?!!

You can manage this list on paper, on a Microsoft Word Document or even with your Outlook Task System.You can learn more about all of this by listening to our interview with Linenberger, or visiting his website where he has created some videos on how to implement this system.

Feel free to watch my videos on implementing the Perfect Life Time System and then consider using Linenberger’s Now Task System to manage your To-Do List.I and my team have been using this combined system for the last year and it’s been wonderful.

I’d love to hear from you.What is your biggest challenge in managing your time and energy?How do you like these tips?

With gratitude,

Looking back over the last 25 years, it’s exciting to see how far we have come as women. I was watching Meet the Press on Sunday and was thrilled to learn about the new report just released by Maria Shriver and the Center for American Progress called, A Woman’s Nation, showing that women now make up 50 percent of the workforce and are the primary breadwinners for the family. (Four out of ten women are the primary breadwinners, while an astonishing 62.8 percent are “co-breadwinners.”)
