Keep Yourself Focused

The Lan's of Forced Efficiency says, "There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important things."

Here are some questions that you should ask yourself, to help keep you focused and working on your top tasks, activities, and responsibilities:

1. Why am I on the payroll? Exactly what have I been hired to do? What results are expected of me?

You must be clear about your answer to this question. Discuss it with others. Ask your boss.

2. What are my key result areas? Of all the things I do; what are the most important results that I am expected to achieve in my position?

There are seldom more than five to seven key result areas in any job. It is essential that you identify yours and then work in those areas all day long.

3. What are my highest value activities? Of all the things I do, which activities contribute the greatest value to my company and to myself?

You have core competencies that enable you to make a valuable contribution. What are they?

4. What can I - and only I - do, that is done well, will make a real difference?

There is only one answer to this question at any given time. This is something that you and only you can do. If you don't do it, no one else will do it instead. But if you do it - and you do it well - it can make a tremendous difference in your life and work.

5. What is the most valuable use of my time right now?

This is the most important of all questions for setting priorities and overcoming procrastination. At every minute of every day, there is an answer to this question. Your ability to organise your life and to select your highest priority is a key measure of your intelligence and your effectiveness.

Blockchain Technology in Accounting: Revolutionizing Transparency

Blockchain Technology in Accounting: Revolutionizing Transparency Introduction: Blockchain technology has emerged as a revolutionary force, reshaping various industries. In the realm of accounting, transparency holds paramount importance. This article explores how blockchain is fundamentally altering traditional accounting practices, ushering in a new era of clarity and reliability. Understanding Blockchain in Accounting: Blockchain, at its core, is a decentralized and distributed ledger. In the context of accounting, this means transactions are recorded across a network of computers, eliminating the need for a central authority. This decentralized nature enhances transparency, as each participant in the network has access to the same set of unalterable records. Smart contracts, self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code, play a pivotal role. They automate financial processes, ensuring that predefined conditions are met before a transaction is

Things You Should Do Before 30

You’ll Regret It If You Haven’t Done These 30 Things Before 30 Everyone has a bucket list. These days though, that isn’t enough. Indeed, there are now a bunch of things you should do not only before you die, but before you reach the ripe old age of 30. Here are a few I was able to whip up: 1. Go to college. Though it can be expensive, going to college is definitely worth the investment. You’ll make friends, acquire connections, and be around (moderately) smart people all day, every day. The younger you do it, the better. While it’s possible to launch your college career at 30 (and I’m not discouraging you), there’s no question you’ll have more energy to deal with the trials and tribulations of university life when you’ve got all that youthful energy to work with. 2. Watch Doctor Who. Ah, Doctor Who, one of the best science fiction shows in existence! This is a show that can change your entire perspective towards life (for the better) if you give it a chance, especially if you’r
