Being on top of your deliverables makes you feel calm. When you slip up and are back peddling you feel in disarray.
What then is the best way to be on top?
There are a lot of things we do which need not be done. They add very little value to our overall goals. Eliminate them!
Delegate effectively all things that you can delegate from your plate after eliminating unnecessary activities. This will allow you to focus on the very important few.
What is left on your plate after eliminating unnecessary activities and delegating effectively, execute promptly.
