LIFE BY DESIGN
TIME & PERFORMANCE
Achieve more with less to be successful and fulfilled.
Have it all spending less time and energy.
Everyone wants a magic formula for success and happiness, whatever is an individual measurement of success and happiness. Do you know what you really want and how to get it? Do you have money but no time to enjoy it, or no money and too much time you feel you can use better?
Here is an open invitation to look at what might give you more value to have a multiplier effect in life and business, look at the activities of lower value and define what makes the biggest difference using less time, effort and energy.
Low value activities
10 most common things:
- Things people want you to do
- Thing that have always been done that way
- Things you are usually not good at
