“In September, 2010, I went from working for a company, to becoming an independent business owner within a matter of days. Although it was a great move, it was also a sudden, unexpected and to say the least, scary transition. I’ve been blessed to be a pretty organized person in the past, but becoming a “stand-alone” so quickly had potential to be overwhelming and I found my to-do lists getting out of control.”
“Not too long thereafter, Michele offered her Goals and Priorities Diary and I downloaded it to my PC and began to see whether it would work for me. I quickly realized that it was a fabulous tool! It provides the ability for both long and short term planning. It allows me to make plans for a day, a week, a quarter, or an entire year. I loved the fact that it has a separate section for appointments and calls/e-mails. The best lesson, however, was learning to identify, accomplish and check off the Top 3 Priorities for each day. This kept me focused on what was important, and doing them first…..whether they were tasks that I loved or disliked greatly, the point was to do them first!!!”
“At times throughout the year, I would find myself spinning out of control with my days and tasks, and when this occurred, I would usually notice that I hadn’t been using the Goals and Priorities Diary the way I should. Going back to it, and utilizing it, typically got me back on track quickly and painlessly. I’ve even found it useful if I need to find when I did a particular thing, or what date a specific appointment had been on, as it is easily searchable.”
“The Diary is an icon in the center of my PC desktop, and is one of the first tools that I open every day. I hope that it works as well for you as it has for me!!! Thank you, Michele, for this great asset to both my professional and personal life!”
