duo…

Look at the time you’ve saved yourself by

partnering up. Guard this time religiously!

Go back to the homework you did in

Episode 1 of this series

“Every Super Hero Needs a Good Sidekick”

If it used to take you 2 hours each day to

respond to emails and is now taking you half an

hour, block out the 1 1/2 hours in your calendar

and from that let’s do some planning…

You now have your sidekick to help you work through these tasks!

Get SMART

S specific

M measurable

A attainable

R relevant to the overall vision and mission of the business

T include a timeframe for completion

Constantly monitor how you are tracking on your goals

By doing this you can then break down your to-do list into easy to manage,

prioritised tasks

Identify the tasks only you can do and slot these into your one and a half

hour time slots blocked out in your calendar

This included resources needed, time, tools, manpower and

for a few of them, just a change in work habits

Super Hero AnticsAs an example, at the end of the week I pulled out my

notebook and wrote down my five biggest pain points

I worked through 3 of these, noting down what I need to do

to resolve these pain points

you a happier hero!

These will be the basis of 5 new SMART goals

Achieving these will make me a pretty kick-ass super hero!
