File this one under “So simple, I might dismiss it because of it’s simplicity” but there’s a really simple question, you can ask, to get your day back on track.

It requires complete honesty on your part, and the absence of your ego. Why do I suddenly have the visual of the room emptying out after that last sentence?

Here goes . . .

Ask yourself . . .

Is what I’m doing, right now, the best use of my time?

I call this the “million dollar” question, because I truly believe it will be worth a million dollars to me over the course of my career!

It’s real simple to use too! If I find myself answering “No, this is a sh*tty use of my time!” I do my best to adjust.

This has worked wonders for me in situations where I found myself talking too much about the problem rather than the solution, attending “pity parties” with coworkers, doing research during my “money hours”, spending too much time on my social networks and even something Psychologists refer to as . . .

EWAH (Engaging With A’Holes) You can seriously waste a ton of time with these types and not just in the actual encounter. We can lose mucho time in the rerunning of the “mental video tape”and obsessing over the “play by play”

So there you have it . . .

A really simple question, you should ask yourself, several times a day, just to make sure;

That whatever you’re doing, in that moment, is in fact, the best use of your time.

OK, good talk, now get out there and apply it!
