Two Lists You Should Look at Every Morning
From Peter Bregman in HBR Blog Network: “I was late for my meeting with the CEO of a technology company and I was emailing him from my iPhone as I walked onto the elevator in his company's office building. I stayed focused on the screen as I rode to the sixth floor. I was still typing with my thumbs when the elevator doors opened and I walked out without looking up. Then I heard a voice behind me, ‘Wrong floor.’ I looked back at the man who was holding the door open for me to get back in; it was the CEO, a big smile on his face. He had been in the elevator with me the whole time. ‘Busted,’ he said. To pause, prioritize and focus, make two lists:
List 1: Your Focus List (the road ahead)
List 2: Your Ignore List (the distractions)”
