You forgot that thing you were supposed to do for your boss.

And that favor your were going to do for a friend.

Or even to pay that bill that was due.

Is “forgetting” one of the main reasons you don’t get things done?

How good are you at remembering what you need to do?

Don’t Say You Forgot

The second worst time management excuse, behind “I don’t have time,” is…

“I was going to do it… But, I forgot.”

Are you guilty of saying that you are going to do something and then don’t because you forgot?

Forgetting is not an excuse, it is a root cause of your productivity issues.

Whether it is todos, appointments, obligations, or bills… forgotten tasks often cause more work down the road.

10 Ways to Stop Forgetting

We all want to stay on top of our tasks and obligations.

What we need are good habits and strategies to remember what we need to do.

Here are 10 Ways to Stop Forgetting & Get More Done:

1. Set an Alarm – We all have alarm clocks on our phones, yet few of us use them. Setting an alarm is the simplest way to remind yourself. Need to call that customer back by end of day? Set your alarm for 5PM. A simple alarm is the down and dirty way to jog your memory.
2. Put it On Your Calendar – Calendars are often underutilized. Don’t just make appointments for meetings, but also for tasks that you need to do. This not only reminds you, but has the added benefit of allotting time to get the work done.
3. Write it Down (on Your Todo List) - What do you put on your todo list? Many people only write down the big things. Ironically, the big things are usually pretty easy to remember. It is the small ones that you need to write down. Put it on your list… that is what it is for.
4. Set a Reminder – Alarms are great for one-offs. However, for regular or repeating tasks go ahead and set a reminder. For example, I have a reminder on my iPhone that goes off every Wednesday at 7AM to tell me to put the trash out. 9 times out of 10, I have already put it out. But, the few times I hadn’t… it worked like a charm. (BTW, Siri makes it very easy to do this.)
5. Do It Now, So You Don’t Have to Remember Later – This one sounds like cheating, but the best way to avoid forgetting a task is to do it immediately. When appropriate, do small tasks right then and there. If it is only going to take a few seconds or minutes… Just Do It Now.
6. Have Someone Else Remind You – A little accountability goes a long way. Have a family member, friend, or even co-worker hold you to performing a certain task. (BTW, kids are very good at this… my 8-year old son reminds me of things I “said I was going to do” all the time…)
7. Put It On Automatic – One of my favorite ways to avoid forgetting tasks is to put them on automatic. Set and forget. This works great with AutoPay for bills. Get creative, you will be surprised how many things you can automate. For example, every six months Amazon automatically sends me a new water filter for my fridge. I don’t have to remember or even go out and get one.
8. Don’t Say Yes In The First Place – Want to avoid forgetting that favor that you promised? Or that extra task you agreed to take on? One of the best methods is to say “No” in the first place. If you are overloaded with your own work, don’t agree to take on more. You are just setting yourself up to disappoint others.
9. Have Someone Else Do It – If you can’t do it, delegate appropriate tasks. However, just remember that when you delegate, you still have to remember to follow-up. After all, you can delegate the doing of the task, but not the accountability.
10. Use Your List! – Your todo list should be your best friend. It should remember so that you don’t have to. If you are following rule #3, then your list will have your back. When your list reminds you of something you forgot, you know it’s working.

Remember Your Work

Don’t let your memory be an excuse for not getting things done.

With discipline and a few strategies, nothing will slip by you.

In fact, you’ll start to scare people with how on top of things you are.

Now excuse me, I have to go look at my todo list…

Question: How do you remember your important tasks?

Time Management Ninja

Walk the talk.

A skill that has been lost by many.

Simply put, doing what you say.

Many people (and companies) these days seem to have forgotten this simple concept.

Instead, we live in a daily environment of broken promises, unfulfilled statements, and even outright lies.

Do you do what you say?

Walking the Talk

The “talk” is what you say you are going to do.

The “walk” is what you do.

People love to talk the walk.

They love to tell you what they are going to do.

However, when it comes to actually doing, not many have the discipline or resolve to walk the talk. To do what they said they would.

Talking is easy. 

Doing is hard.

Doing what you said you were going to do… is harder still.

Do what do what you say you will?

Or do you do a lot of talking and not much follow-up?

Doing What You Say

We mislead ourselves. We mislead others.

Sometimes unintentionally. Sometimes on purpose.

Here are some tips to help you walk your talk:

1. Doing Instead of Talking - There is a time for talking, and a time for doing. Make sure you know where one stops and the other begins. Doing something now, is almost always better than doing nothing.
2. Say No – Instead of making a promise that you know you’re not going to keep, say “No” at the outset. This applies to the promises we make to ourselves, as well as others. Don’t make a promise that you know you can’t or won’t keep.
3. Consider Your Reputation – We all have a time management reputation. Do people view you as reliable? Do they know and expect that you will do what you say? Your actions determine how others view you and ultimately how they treat you.
4. Don’t Lie to Yourself – We often think the act of lying to ourselves is harmless. After all, we are not hurting anyone else. That is a shortsighted view. Your impact on yourself inevitably affects those around you. This is true at work, at home, and in your community.
5. Broken Promises – This is lying to others. Don’t do it. Once you start, it is hard to stop. Often people, and more often companies, don’t think that others will notice their unfulfilled promises. Nothing could be further from the truth. Others may not be telling you about your broken promises but they are aware. (See #3)
6. You CAN Change Your Talk - Often, people feel trapped by their statements. They say one thing and then circumstances change. That is OK. You can change your “talk.” The important thing is that you have to tell people.

Tell the Truth

Don’t tell me what you are going to do.

Instead, simply do what you say.

Tell the truth.

To your team. To you family and friends.

And of course, to yourself.

Question: What do you say you are going to do, that you don’t do?

There’s a Problem… Panic!

When things don’t go as planned, how do you react?

Are you the calm one who works to fix things?

Or the one running around like Chicken Little screaming that the sky is falling?

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

- Rudyard Kipling, If

I still vividly remember an incident that happened in my first consultant job after I got out of the Navy.

The story begins one day when one of the software programmers lost his mind.

He was screaming and yelling in his cubicle. You could hear it all the way across the office.

Other people were losing it too… simply because this individual was losing it. They were panicking because he was swearing and yelling.

On the flip side, I was kind of chuckling. I had heard worse across the dinner table while in the Navy. I walked down to see what was going on and how I could help.

Most people were scattering or hurriedly going the other direction.

Dave, the programmer, was physically and emotionally spent by the time I got to his cubicle. He was slumped in his chair. Most people had deserted or cleared the area. I think he was happy that I sat down. I am not sure I said anything, but he explained what had happened and how another individual had caused him to lose several days worth of work.

When he was done venting, we made a few jokes about the situation. There wasn’t anything to do except start again. We planned how we were going to reconstruct the missing work.

Within a week the project was not only back-on-track, but in better shape than before the incident.

How to Keep Your Head

Getting upset or alarmed can seem like natural reactions to a problem.

Here are a few tips to help you remain calm in the face of the storm:

• Don’t Panic – You are better able to find a solution if you aren’t panicking. If you can keep your head when others are losing theirs, you will be able to make a clear decision in the chaos.
• There Aren’t Many True Emergencies -  My time as a Naval Officer taught me about true emergencies. In the military, when there is a problem, people can get hurt or die. This is not usually the case when the office copier or email server goes down. Keep things in perspective. There are very few true emergencies in life.
• Less Talking, More Doing - Many people will spend time talking about the problem. Be the one that does something about it. I have seen executives talk about problems while their entire company burned down. Stop critiquing the fire and grab a bucket of water.
• Avoid the “Fight or Flight” - When you are stressed, your body will want to go into “fight or flight.” Your body was designed to keep you safe from danger, but its natural reflexes aren’t always the best solution against a project gone awry. Keep your emotions in check and ensure that your physical reflexes don’t make bad decisions for you.
• Head Into The Problem – While everyone else is running away, true leaders walk into a problem. Sticking your head in the sand only makes things worse. Instead of trying to ignore the situation, get to the heart of the issue as soon as possible. Only then can you address it.

How Will You React?

When you find yourself ready to lose it, take a step back.

Ask, “Is this truly an emergency?”

Keep your head when others are losing theirs.

And you’ll find that you are that much closer to a solution.

Question: How do you react when there is a problem? Are you able to keep calm or do you panic?

We are a quick fix society.

We want immediate action.

We expect immediate results.

When we don’t get them, we complain. Often, we get upset.

Then we quit and move on to something else.

When Do You Give Up?

Too many people flit from one activity or goal to the next.

They want immediate gratification whether it is a simple task or a long-range goal.

Unfortunately, that’s not how life works. It’s not how you win.

To accomplish great things, you have to put in the work.

And then you have to put in more.

“Those who win are the ones who keep going, long after everyone else has given up and gone home.”

Most people are starters and stoppers.

They love to start new things, and then they hang it up just as quickly.

(Whether it is a new skill, a new workout program, or even a new job.)

Instead, you need to be a starter and a finisher.

Quitting Too Early

Why do you quit?

Because things are… Too hard? Too much work? Too much discomfort?

You have to be willing to go through, around, and over the obstacles in your way.

To paraphrase one of my mentors Randy Pausch…

The brick walls are there to make you show how badly you want something.

They’re there to keep out the other people.

Simply put, winners do the things that losers are not willing to do.

Winners put in the work. They do the practice. They have the discipline.

The others? They let the walls keep them out.

They quit too soon, often within site of the goal line.

They think that is good enough.

Don’t Stop Now

Those that “don’t give up,” know another secret.

In many of life’s most important things… there is no clear finish line.

You keep going. You keep doing the right thing.

And you keep winning… long after others have given up.

Question: Do you give up too early? What are you doing that you need to stick with?

Email has gotten out of control.

Doubt it?

Your employees are spending up to half of their day on it.

What can we do to bring this productivity monster under control?

(Hint: We may have to go rogue on this one.)

Email Has Taken Over

Email is here to stay.

Despite our best efforts, it isn’t going anywhere.

Like the fax machine, we will still be using it in the year 2491.

I previously spelled out TMN’s 9 Laws of Work Email.

Today, I want to propose some radial ways to think differently about email.

After all, email has been superseded by new social tools and communications but it still seems to be stuck, well, in the 90s. (Not to say that there aren’t some positive email uses.)

So, how can we radically change corporate email to restore productivity to our workplace?

I have proposed 9 “rules” below to do just that. However, I want to preface them with the idea that they do not have to be hard and fast limits. Especially, if that helps us leave our comfort zones…

In fact, maybe emails should be flagged based on policy and reviewed similarly to expense report violations.

“Which costs a company more… a lunch expense overage or a rogue email that calls a meeting with 11 people?”

So, if we want to radically change email and how it works… what should we do?

9 Rogue Corporate Email Rules

Email is a sacred cow.

Some people love it. Especially those who abuse it.

However, here are some tough ideas on how to challenge email’s power in the workplace…

9 Rogue Rules to Fix Corporate Email

1. Timed Deliveries - People need to stop thinking of email as instantaneous. We cannot expect our employees to sit at their desk waiting for emails to arrive and immediately act upon them. Let’s limit delivery of email. If email is the new snail mail, maybe it should only be delivered once a day at a preset time. This would reset people’s expectation that others are going to read their email within minutes.
2. Limited Distribution - Set up corporate email accounts so that they can’t copy more than 3 people per message. Perhaps, vary this limit based upon position or seniority.
3. AutoClose Email Clients - Corporate IT seems to want to “auto do” all kinds of other things to our machines. Why not auto-close email clients after a few minutes of inactivity? (They could even call it a security measure.) This would eliminate unneeded email alerts and interruptions.
4. Limit Message Length - There is no need for a 3 page email. Just like Twitter, we need a strict character (or word) limit on our work emails. Maybe a 100 words per message.
5. Mandatory Spell Check - The fact that you wrote an email on your phone 15 seconds before walking into your lunch date doesn’t mean that others should have to slog through a poorly written message. Make spelling and grammar checks mandatory before messages can be sent.
6. No Signatures - We don’t need your contact information in every single email you send. Nor do we need to give out our contact info to every single person we email. Remove this functionality. If email messages are employees’ Rolodexes then it might be time for remedial organization training.
7. Black Out Hours - Turn off email delivery during weekends, holidays, and off hours. Employees can write email during off time, but they get queued until after the black out time. See Rule #1.
8. No Same Day Meeting Invites – Nothing is more disruptive that last-minute meeting invites. Companies should set their own minimum interval. One day notice? Perhaps, two or three.
9. Limit the # of Emails – Simply put, limit the # of emails that an employee can send in a day. (I once got 200 emails from one person in a day.) This would stop the email pushers and those who shuffle emails instead of doing actual work. There would literally be a few people who wouldn’t know what to do with their day!

Rogue or Right On?

Some of these may seem extreme.

Are they too radical? Or are we just clinging to our comfort zones?

Some companies are eliminating email altogether.

You have to wonder why we spend so much time on it.

So, let’s close the email and get some work done.

Is email a time waster in your company? How would your fix it?

Why do we put off the things that we say are the most important?

Why doesn’t our most crucial task get done? Or the thing that we have been meaning to do for months?

Eventually things catch up to us. Either there are consequences. Or we simply miss the opportunity to do them.

Whether it is playing with the kids. Starting a new career. Or simply telling someone we care about them.

Don’t put off the important things. You may not get another chance.

50 Things You’re Putting Off That You’ll Regret Later

Question: What’s on your list? What are you putting off?

Time Management Ninja

We often think about the speed of our lives.

How much we are hurrying…

How fast we can do that…

How busy we are…

However, we don’t often think about the momentum behind all that motion.

Stop and consider your own.

Do you know in which direction it is taking you?

More importantly, how much effort would you need to change your course?

Where is Your Momentum Taking You?

Momentum is a very powerful force.

One that you cannot ignore.

It is the force that brings successful people to even more success.

And it is also the force that continues a downward spiral into self-destruction.

“Momentum can take you over the top of the hill or into the ditch below.”

The simple truth is that momentum keeps us going.

It can carry you to victory. Or lead to your defeat.

The question is, “Is your momentum taking you in the right direction?”

Towards Success or Failure?

When an object has momentum, it will continue in the direction it is headed.

It is the same with our lives.

“Newton’s 1st Law of Physics states that an object in motion will continue in that motion until acted upon by a force.”

If you are headed in a positive direction with healthy habits, you will tend to stay in that direction.

On the other hand, if you are practicing bad habits, you will continue down that dark path.

The phenomenon of momentum also explains why it is so hard to begin new things.

If you aren’t moving, you don’t have any momentum.

That’s why starting is always the hardest part.

You have to get up and start that goal. Begin that task. And build momentum.

Respect Your Momentum

Your momentum can lift you to success.

Or it can bring you down to ruin.

Ensure sure your momentum is taking you in the direction you want.

If not, you have to take action.

It requires effort to change the course of a body in motion.

After all, Newton proved that many years ago.

Which direction is your momentum taking you?

I have some news for you.

2012 is here.

Well, just about.

Only 19 days left until the New Year.

For many, this is the last full week of work before holiday vacations.

Are you ready for 2012?

Is Your 2011 Finished?

You may be surprised that 2012 is so close.

New Year’s has a way of sneaking up on us.

“You are sitting comfortably in September, and before you know it, it’s the middle of December.”

However, there is still time to finish up 2011. But, you need to act fast.

What do you need to do?

At work? At home?

It’s time to make a list of the things that you need to complete before the end of the year.

Get Ready for 2012

It’s not too early to start preparing for 2012.

It will be here before you can finish preparing for that holiday party.

Here are 12 Things You Need To Do Before 2012 Arrives:

1. Finish Up 2011 - Many of us have things we planned to do in 2011. It is not too late to accomplish them. What is still on your 2011 goals list? For many employees, there is a mad scramble to finish things that are on their 2011 Reviews.
2. Limit Your Obligations - The holiday season can be stressful because there is simply too much going on. Holiday parties, work deadlines, vacation, travel, gift-giving. Your calendar and todo list can be overwhelming. Limit yourself and your obligations. Say “no” where appropriate and keep your todo list in check.
3. Take Note of Where You Are – The end of the year is the time to check the score. Review your accomplishments. Re-read your journal. If you don’t know where you stand currently, you can’t possibly make goals for the New Year.
4. Clean Up and Get Organized – Many people wait until the Spring to do their cleaning. But, the end of the year is a great time to get organized and clean up. A clean workplace and home can make your New Year start more productive.
5. Name Your Goals for 2012 – The time to lay out your 2012 goals is now, not after the New Year arrives. Write your goals down. Be as specific as possible as to what you want to accomplish. For example, “Get in shape” is too vague. “Lose 15 pounds” is more precise and gives you a way to measure your success.
6. Plan – Get a long-term calendar and start plotting out your 2012. Most people don’t plan out beyond the next few days or weeks. It’s important to put long-term events and milestones on your calendar. I already have my calendar booked out through next October. If you are looking for a great 2012 planning calendar, here is a great one by @JessePhillips, Seize the Year 2012.
7. Prepare – Scheduling is great. However, getting ready is the action step. What do you need to do in order to be ready to start 2012? Do you need to sign-up for something? Read some references? Learn a new skill? Do your homework so that you can start 2012 on the right footing.
8. Tell Others – Many people keep their plans and goals hidden and secret. I recommend the opposite. Tell everyone what you are going to do. Get support from friends and family. If they do not know your goals, they cannot offer support and motivation.
9. Make a Map – List and calendars are good ways to get your thoughts down. However, if you want to get a 10,000 foot view of your goals, I recommend making a mindmap. It is the quickest, easiest way to capture all your thoughts in one place. Make your 2012 map to help you find your way in the new year.
10. Set Deadlines – As the saying goes, “Goals without deadlines are just dreams.” If you want to actually reach your goals, you need to set aggressive deadlines to get there. Otherwise, your dreams will remain just that… dreams.
11. Be Realistic – Always set your sights higher than you believe you can reach. You need to stretch your potential. However, if your goals or timeframes are not based in reality, you will fail. Take special caution here, it is important not to hold yourself back. You set your own limits. Whether or not you can do something is often directly related to whether or not you think you can.
12. Start Now - There is no reason to wait until January 1st to start your 2012 goals. Start today. I am not a big believer in waiting until New Year’s. Any day of the year is a good day to start a resolution. In fact, today is always the best day to start.

What Is In Your 2012?

2011 is almost done.

It’s time to finish those 2011 todo lists.

It’s also time to get ready for 2012.

Take action today and start mapping out your goals.

What do you need to finish before the end of the year? What are your goals for the New Year?

As the year winds down, many find themselves looking forward to the New Year.

They are hoping that it will be better than the current one.

They are setting goals and make resolutions about what they will accomplish in the coming year.

What about you?

Have you planned for the coming year?

Have you made your resolutions yet?

And here is the tough question… “Are they the same goals you set last year?”

Different Year, Same Goals

I’m not a big fan of New Year’s resolutions.

You don’t need to wait until the New Year to set goals and take action. (See why you should “Just Do It Now.”)

Studies have shown that 80% of people fall off their resolutions within 30 days.

Are your goals the same every year?

I bet I can name several of your goals…

- Get in shape/lose weight

- Get your finances in order/eliminate your debt

- Get a better job/change careers

- Spend more time with your family

- Learn something new

Do these sound familiar? Why haven’t you accomplished them?

After all, you said you were going to do them last year.

How about this year?

Make Your Goals… And Keep Them.

I have previously written about why you won’t reach your goals.

This year, let’s make them stick.

Here are 5 tips to help you when setting your goals:

• Pick a Handful of Goals – When I say pick a handful of goals, I mean this literally. You have five fingers, pick 5 goals. You can keep track of them on one hand. I see people whose resolution list is well over a dozen resolutions. This is simply too much. These people tend to be unsuccessful at all of their resolutions. Be successful in your most important goals and the rest will follow.
• Write them Down – Post your goals where you can see them. When I was started TMN several year ago, I posted papers all over the dining room wall. (My wife wasn’t too thrilled, but she went along with it.) Every day I had to look at those papers and they reminded and drove me towards my goals. Some people like to put them on their bathroom mirror.
• Do Them Daily - When you are trying to make big things happen, you have to work on them every day. Yes, every day. When you start to think that you will put it off, or do it another day… that is when you start to slip. That is when you start to let go. Don’t let this happen to you. Daily discipline is how great things are done.
• Be Willing To Pay the Price – You will have to sacrifice. Every goal has a price. If your goal is to write a book, you might need to turn off the TV at night. If you want to get in shape, you may need to get up early and go to the gym before work. If it helps, think of this as the “price of admission” to your goals.
• Tell People You Trust – By this, I mean tell those people who will impact your path to your goals. Telling your office workers may seem like a feel good tactic, but will they be there to help you take that class late at night? Or help with the kids when you workout? We avoid telling those closest to us, because we don’t want to be vulnerable. However, it is your spouse, family, and closest friends that can support you along way to success.

Which Year Are You Waiting For?

Are you looking at a new year with the same goals?

If you don’t take action, I can tell you where you’ll be in a year.

In the same spot you are in now.

This year, don’t just think about the same goals.

Instead, think about what you are going to do differently.

Do you have the same goals this year as last?

PS – Want to join others that are going to stick with their goals in 2012?
