If you receive emails in CC, do this

When I assess how most professionals and entrepreneurs manage their time, I see the same mistake on repeat. They treat every task as equally important and/or equally urgent. So, they get bogged down with massive to-do lists, where responding to administrative emails assumes the same importance as servicing top clients. Stress is high. Burn-out massive. Effectiveness low. Results inexistent. Your tasks shouldn’t all carry equal weight. And some of the tasks on your list may not deserve any of your time at all. I know that it’s hard, but… that’s life. There is a 2x2 Decision Framework. It’s a practical way to keep your sanity intact so you can focus on your most important work. This framework forces every task on your list into one of four categories: 1. Do Now: High urgency, high importance ​I see many people gamifying tasks, feeling good about writing down another tick, done. But then, they get frustrated because they don’t see results. Your time and energy are your most precious assets. Wasting your time ticking boxes for a momentary reward of dopamine is not going to bring you closer to your objectives. Sticking to what’s important is. It’s hard. It works. You’ll thank me for that. So, next time that you have your inbox full of messages where you are CC… think of which quadrant that task is… Then, press DELETE. If learning new things, progressing into your personal growth through mentors and coaches is a priority for you, you can SCHEDULE below.

You learn by doing. As Robert Kiyosaki said if you think that mistakes are bad, you’re doomed. Imagine yourself with this attitude: “I’ve taken action, I’ve made some mistakes, and now I can learn from those mistakes”. In this case, you’ll be a much richer person. In your pocket and your mind. “People who must be perfect, or cannot allow themselves to make mistakes, are often people without much 20/20 vision. They are the people who make the biggest mistake, which is to fail to learn from...
Small children don’t wait. They come with their “wee, wee” statement… like a Change Notice on Christmas Eve. And it means now. Not in 1 min, that I’m eating. No. Just right now. In a rush, you take over everything you need for such a complex operation. Peeing in a public / restaurant toilet. And you arrive in a rush. Then, you realized the obvious thing. Too many tables. Too many people eating. Too few bathrooms. The waiting list announces the inevitable. A wee-wee accident. Kids are not made...
Most PPP evaluations are designed by committees obsessed with checking boxes. Not with selecting the best partner. The result? Overcomplicated scoring matrices Subjective criteria disguised as science Endless “clarification” rounds A perfect environment for disputes… Sorry. A PPP evaluation is not an academic exercise. It’s a decision. And decisions must be fast, clear, defensible. So… how do you design the perfect evaluation? The 3-Step PPP Evaluation That Actually Works Step 1 — Choose only...
