Wouldn’t it be nice…..In 1967 testimony before a Senate subcommittee indicated that by 1985 people could be working just 22 hours a week or 27 weeks a year or could retire at 38. That would leave only the great challenge of finding a way to enjoy all that leisure (Time Magazine, 1989, The Rat Race)

Editor's Notes

  • #4 We once believed that advancements in technology would reduce how much we work. It’s actually had the opposite affect. We now work longer than we have ever worked.
  • #5 This quote was published in Time Magazine in 1989! That was before the internet, email, and cell phones. The big technology in 1989 was the fax machine
  • #6 What worked before won’t work now. Traditional time management skills won’t work in 2011. We need to learn how to manage our energy, think in terms of routines and improve our emotional intelligence. In fact research shows that high performers are higher in emotional intelligence than low performers
  • #8 Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz published the book- The Power of Full Engagement. You must focus more on managing your energy and less on managing your time.
  • #9 Routines are habits that we create over time. Discipline is something that we force ourselves to do. The most successful athletes are not necessarily disciplined, as much as they are better at creating routines
  • #10 What are energy busters for you? Why are you tolerating them?
  • #11 What gives you energy? Why aren’t you doing more of this?
  • #12 Energy Management is about juggling four sources of energy each day. If you feel exhausted at the end of your day chances are that you are not managing yourself well.
  • #13 If you are not getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night you will not be able to perform at a high level for a long period of time. There is a strong link between exercise and performance- consider that you might want to start some type of an exercise program to improve your performance.- more relaxed, make better decisions, less tired, more patient,
  • #14 Most people don’t pay much attention to their emotions. Yet, research clearly shows that managing your emotions well is critical to long term success.
  • #15 The emotional part of our brain (amygdala) often gets hijacked. When this happens it cuts off any connection to the thinking and logical part of our brain. When we are hijacked we make poor decisions. Emotionally intelligent people know how to manage and limit emotional hijackings
  • #16 We have the ability to generate positive emotions. If you regularly access positive emotions you will perform better.
  • #17 You also must know how to manage negative emotions.
  • #18 This sounds crazy doesn’t it…. But the next time someone gets you angry try thinking something positive about them. It will change your emotions and help you handle the situation better.
  • #19 Research shows that just by saying something like “Get a grip” when you are on the verge of getting hijacked, will reduce the strong negative emotions you are feeling.
  • #21 We are not supposed to multi-task. The key to focus is short bursts of focus. Never spend more than 90 minutes at your computer without taking a break.
  • #22 Never start your day by checking email. If you want to be successful you have to spend a little time each day working on strategic and long term goals. It will give momentum to your day.
  • #23 We need to tap into our purpose on a daily basis. This is what drives us past obstacles.
