Speaker 1: and let's face it, we still are. And here's what

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: join us Listen to you and me both on the

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: your podcasts. Yeah, good morning, This is Laura. Welcome to

34
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: the New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies

35
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: for thriving in the new world of work, where location

36
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: and hours are more flexible than in the past. Today's

37
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: tip is to establish a daily must win and then

38
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: win at it. This exercise and prioritization can help us

39
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: feel like we're making progress no matter what life tosses

40
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: our way. This tip comes from Ashley Willins, a professor

41
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: at Harvard Business School and author of the recently released

42
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: book Time Smart, How to Reclaim Your Time and Live

43
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: a Happier life, which I've mentioned on this podcast before.

44
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: In a recent webinar hosted by Pen's Behavior Change for

45
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: Good initiative, will Ens listed focusing on a daily must

46
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: win as one of her time use strategies to help

47
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: people cope while working remotely. I think focusing on a

48
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: daily must win is a great way to give yourself

49
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: purpose and direction. Long time listeners have heard me advise

50
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: to manage by task, not time, and to create short

51
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: to do lists of important things that you actually intend

52
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: to do. Focusing on a daily must win keeps with

53
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: this same spirit. You identify an immediate priority for the day.

54
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: What is the one thing you absolutely have to win

55
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: at for the day to be a success. That is

56
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: what you must do, and as a corollary, when you

57
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: do that thing, the day will have been a success.

58
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: It turns out that when we know what our top

59
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: priority is and our laser focused on it, we tend

60
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: to get it done no matter what else comes along.

61
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: To start winning at your must win, get in the

62
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: bit of actively designating the days must do. Look at

63
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: your list. If nothing else happened, what one thing would

64
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: make the day feel like it wasn't a disaster? Or

65
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: try this thought exercise. If you knew you would lose

66
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: power in an hour or your laptop would be taken

67
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: away from you, what on your list would you choose

68
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: to do first. Now, this priority may not seem grand

69
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: and important. It might seem absurdly small, like signing a

70
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: contract or actually submitting something that is mostly put together,

71
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: but no matter, put a little star next to it

72
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: or bolded or otherwise make it stand out, and then

73
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to make sure that this priority happens.

74
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: Even if you aren't going to lose power or have

75
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: your laptop or phone taken away from you, it's a

76
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: good idea to tackle your must win item first thing

77
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: in the morning. That way, if unexpected things happen later,

78
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: you've already won at your daily must win. Or if

79
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: you have unanticipated difficulties with handling your must do, you

80
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: have time to address the issue before the day is over. Now,

81
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: designating a must win doesn't mean that we have only

82
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: one thing on our plates. And I'm not suggesting that

83
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: you quit for the day and go out for drinks

84
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: as soon as they must win item has been one.

85
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: But how often have we not completed something that really

86
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: does need to get done because we had another fire

87
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: to put out, or we encountered an obstacle like needing

88
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: someone else's approval, or maybe we've dropped the ball because

89
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: we've just lost track of time and forgot. Designating a

90
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: must win and then committing to winning it means that

91
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: fewer balls get dropped. You don't forget to submit that

92
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: huge proposal before the five pm deadline because someone catches

93
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: a big error on another project. So today, start thinking

94
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: about your daily must win and what kind of schedule

95
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: maneuverings would be required to make sure that you win it.

96
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: You'll probably find yourself getting more done and feeling a

97
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 1: lot less stressed about it. In the meantime, this is Laura,
