Counting Down The Time Left In The Lineup
Monday, July 11, 2011 at 07:00AM Using a count down timer to help you manage your time is not a new idea. BUT in a program last week I was amazed at how many people saw real value in the idea. Like many time management strategies, we forget them over time, or don't have need of them as much in different seasons of our work or life.
The value of the timer can not be overstated. It forces you to give a focused amount of time to a project or idea and reach some level of completion before the time runs out. The real strength is that the decreasing time acts as a constant course correction, challenging you to re prioritize often during the time period. And it serves as a frequent reminder of how precious time goes by so quickly.
Need to buy one but don't want to spend your time looking for one? Here are some options:

We wouldn't want you to complain that you "don't have time" to improve your circus.
focus, time management

I just received Juggling Elephants yesterday and I could not put it down. When I finished the book tonight I was impressed. Having attended a mini-workshop with Jones I can say that the information he presented has really helped me already and now that I have read the book I reakize I have some serious work to do to stop Juggling Elephants. I am focusing on all three rings now and I am also looking at ways to get the right acts in the ring and not put to many large acts in their respective rings at one time.
Great book, even better workshop, and soon I expect wonderful results!
