Hocus Focus

Ok, any minute now your Fairy Godmother is going to appear! She's going to dig you out of the work hole you've buried yourself in. Yeah! right, wave that magic wand and Kaboom it's all complete and done, right?

Wrong! Well for those of us that live in the real world it's not going to happen. Nope, no Fairy Godmother or magic Genie. Though I wish as I keep rubbing my old oil lamp. The real magic is going to have to come from ourselves.

I'll now wave my magic wand over you and give you the solution to get yourself out of the hole. 'KABOOM' FOCUS!

Easier said than done you say? Maybe, but you will at least have learned the tools that you already have available.

Focusing is not a hard thing to do. It requires organization to allow you the right moment. Working in an office with phones ringing, E-mails coming, fax's going, clients waiting is not the easiest place to focus. Most of us find one hour of quiet time can achieve four to five hours non-interrupted work time. The best way to get that one hour is to schedule yourself in as a meeting like you would do with any client or task.

At first this may seem hard to fit that one hour, but do it. After a few days you'll find you've accomplished an extra weeks work. Its not a magic trick that can be done instantly though results will show quickly.

There you have it, 'HOCUS FOCUS' to each one of you. I've waved my magic wand *****
