The write way to reduce stress

I carry a small spiral notebook with me at all times. I use it to jot down ideas, things I need to do and to capture the names and phone numbers of new businesses I notice. This helps me to stay organized but also serves to keep my stress level in check. The Chinese have a saying: "The palest ink lasts longer than the strongest memory." Writing things down means that I won't forget to followup on leads or fail to live up to my commitments. This keeps me on track and significantly reduces the stress in my life. Get in the habit of constant note making, Writing things down frees you to concentrate on action instead of wasting your energy on remembering a hundred little details.

Keep smiling, Keep Selling!

Don't forget R & R

Our business is addictive, sometimes we get so wrapped up in deadlines and hitting our numbers that we forget to take a break. Stephen Covey talks about the P/PC balance. P stand for production and PC stands for Production Capability. If we stay focused on productivity, staying constantly on the go, we put our selves at risk for the negative effects of stress and burnout. Every now and again we need to step away, and take a break. We need to do something completely different. The change of pace wipes our minds clean and gives us a new perspective on our jobs as well as our lives. This restores our PC, our productive capability. To this end I will not be blogging for the next few days. I will be taking my grandson away for a few days and I plan to forget all about work.

Keep Smiling Keep Selling!
