The Magic of Doing One Thing at a Time

3. Encourage renewal. Create at least one time during the day when you encourage your people to stop working and take a break. Offer a miday class in yoga, or meditation, organize a group walk or workout,or a room where people can relax.

19 March 2013

The Magic of Doing One Thing at a Time

2. Stop demanding or expecting instant responsiveness at every moment of the day. It forces your people into reactive mode, fractures their attention, and makes it difficult for them to sustain attention on their priorities.

19 March 2013

The Magic of Doing One Thing at a Time

1. Maintain meeting discipline. Schedule meetings for 45 minutes, rather than an hour or longer, so participants can stay focused, take time afterward to reflect on what's been discussed, and recover before the next obligation.

Representing MBET at the NBTC

Participating with our fellow MBET classmates at the National Business and Technology Conference in Toronto. A day packed with pitch competitions and inspiring speeches.

Focus on 1 thing

Focusing on 1 thing, you will succeed as opposed to a million things http://www.inc.com/jeff-hoffman/do-one-thing-better-than-anyone-else.html
