Speaker 1: the New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies
Speaker 1: for thriving in the new world of work, where location
Speaker 1: and hours are more flexible than in the past. Today's
Speaker 1: tip is to establish a daily must win and then
Speaker 1: win at it. This exercise and prioritization can help us
Speaker 1: feel like we're making progress no matter what life tosses
Speaker 1: our way. This tip comes from Ashley Willins, a professor
Speaker 1: at Harvard Business School and author of the recently released
Speaker 1: book Time Smart, How to Reclaim Your Time and Live
Speaker 1: a Happier life, which I've mentioned on this podcast before.
Speaker 1: In a recent webinar hosted by Pen's Behavior Change for
Speaker 1: Good initiative, will Ens listed focusing on a daily must
Speaker 1: win as one of her time use strategies to help
Speaker 1: people cope while working remotely. I think focusing on a
Speaker 1: daily must win is a great way to give yourself
Speaker 1: purpose and direction. Long time listeners have heard me advise
Speaker 1: to manage by task, not time, and to create short
Speaker 1: to do lists of important things that you actually intend
Speaker 1: to do. Focusing on a daily must win keeps with
Speaker 1: this same spirit. You identify an immediate priority for the day.
Speaker 1: What is the one thing you absolutely have to win
Speaker 1: at for the day to be a success. That is
Speaker 1: what you must do, and as a corollary, when you
Speaker 1: do that thing, the day will have been a success.
Speaker 1: It turns out that when we know what our top
Speaker 1: priority is and our laser focused on it, we tend
Speaker 1: to get it done no matter what else comes along.
Speaker 1: To start winning at your must win, get in the
Speaker 1: bit of actively designating the days must do. Look at
Speaker 1: your list. If nothing else happened, what one thing would
Speaker 1: make the day feel like it wasn't a disaster? Or
Speaker 1: try this thought exercise. If you knew you would lose
Speaker 1: power in an hour or your laptop would be taken
Speaker 1: away from you, what on your list would you choose
Speaker 1: to do first. Now, this priority may not seem grand
Speaker 1: and important. It might seem absurdly small, like signing a
Speaker 1: contract or actually submitting something that is mostly put together,
Speaker 1: but no matter, put a little star next to it
Speaker 1: or bolded or otherwise make it stand out, and then
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to make sure that this priority happens.
Speaker 1: Even if you aren't going to lose power or have
Speaker 1: your laptop or phone taken away from you, it's a
Speaker 1: good idea to tackle your must win item first thing
Speaker 1: in the morning. That way, if unexpected things happen later,
Speaker 1: you've already won at your daily must win. Or if
Speaker 1: you have unanticipated difficulties with handling your must do, you
Speaker 1: have time to address the issue before the day is over. Now,
Speaker 1: designating a must win doesn't mean that we have only
Speaker 1: one thing on our plates. And I'm not suggesting that
Speaker 1: you quit for the day and go out for drinks
Speaker 1: as soon as they must win item has been one.
Speaker 1: But how often have we not completed something that really
Speaker 1: does need to get done because we had another fire
Speaker 1: to put out, or we encountered an obstacle like needing
Speaker 1: someone else's approval, or maybe we've dropped the ball because
Speaker 1: we've just lost track of time and forgot. Designating a
Speaker 1: must win and then committing to winning it means that
Speaker 1: fewer balls get dropped. You don't forget to submit that
Speaker 1: huge proposal before the five pm deadline because someone catches
Speaker 1: a big error on another project. So today, start thinking
Speaker 1: about your daily must win and what kind of schedule
Speaker 1: maneuverings would be required to make sure that you win it.
Speaker 1: You'll probably find yourself getting more done and feeling a
Speaker 1: lot less stressed about it. In the meantime, this is Laura,
