February 2012
Greetings!
It's a Leap Year! With an extra day in February, we're given the gift of time. Before dismissing this additional day as just another one in your hectic, over-scheduled week, consider that more time can mean more opportunities to focus on what's really important. Read on!

| Focusing in February " I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's where the fun is." - Donald Trump
 How best to position ourselves for success is a challenge everyone faces. Most of us view the start of a new year as the best time to set goals and objectives. Yet, when February rolls around, many of us have fallen off the wagon, despite our good intentions. What's really going on?
Mike Vardy, self-described "productivity-ist," thinks we're just too darn tired in January to make anything stick. He advises starting anew in February, along with tactics such as "more 'being' than doing," and "conscious choosing":
I am more deliberate in action and with how I choose to spend my time. I am more aware of when I can do something and . . . when I can't. And the "can" and "can't" components are less of a factor than the "will" and "won't" factor at this point.
 This antithesis of multi-tasking has been cited by many as their biggest breakthrough in achieving greater levels of productivity. Present-based focus can lead to flow, which Wikipedia tells us is like riding a wave of motivation, exhilaration and single-minded immersion that brings forth positive energy and alignment with tasks at hand. The results? Highest quality possible in our work product and, subsequently, our self-assessments. If this February finds you feeling stuck or needing a fresh start, focus on the here and now and watch what happens! _______________________________ |
