6 D's for Achieving Outcomes

A simple formula for maximising your time and effectiveness:

· Dump it - if it’s not adding value – be ruthless by eliminating distractions and low priority tasks. This can even include some meetings. Focus on what is Important.
· Delegate – (Business Boost 81) what’s not yours or what you don’t have to do. You may just find that someone else not only does it better … you elevate them by asking.
· Decide When – set a time and date that you will use to guide you to ensure completion. Be realistic in setting timelines.
· Diarise – if you can’t do it now, getting it out of your head will allow you to focus clearly on the task at hand. Active ‘to-do lists’ are important for a busy mind.
· Do it – a job worth doing is worth doing poorly! Don’t put it off to a better time or wait to get it perfect. Start now, the momentum will carry you through to completion.
· Delight in Your Day – acknowledge and celebrate even your smallest achievements as well as those of your team. Acknowledge behaviours you want more of!
