Want to Know the Secret to Getting More Done?

We live in a culture of busy: How are you? Busy!  How was your weekend? Busy!  Many people adopt busyness as a badge of honor.  Yet many busy people get to the end of each day, week, month and year and wonder why they didn't reach their goals or get important things done.  The reason is because busy doesn't mean effective.  We can all churn busily, but if it's results you're interested in, then it's time to shift your thinking toward being effective rather than busy.  

Being effective means working smarter to get things done.  The skills and tools may vary depending on what it is you're trying to accomplish, however there is one key constant to being effective: decision-making.  People who work effectively get more done each day and with less stress because they make timely and important decisions throughout the day.  Decision-making puts them more in control of how they spend their time, energy and money.  Decision-making creates opportunities to weigh incoming demands and changes against other previously made decisions.

Want to get more done and be more effective in all aspects of your life?  Develop better decision-making skills and establish organized systems for making regular decisions about what you want to accomplish and how you spend your time, energy and money.  Simply Placed Professional Organizers and Productivity Consultants regularly help people in all walks of life learn the skills and systems necessary to help them reduce stress and live and work more effectively.  Simply Placed clients may still say they are busy when asked how they're doing, but they really mean they are busy getting the right things done!  Let us know if we can help you too.
