Brilliant at the Basics

Whatever you do this week, be brilliant at the basics e.g.

in that meeting
ask: what do we want to walk out of the door with in 1h's time?
in that presentation
think: what change do I want in my audience?
in that sales call
consider: what do they want which only we can offer?
for your personal productivity
ask: what are the vital few, the real high pay-offs?
for your work-life balance
decide your zones (e.g. you+kids zone), beyond which you will not trespass
for your health
walk every lunch-time; rain or shine
for your kids
be interested and interesting
for the changes you seek
start. Now.
