The pile is GONE!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Pareto Realty TN #251071

I’ll bet $1,000,000 you have a pile.

Whether it be closed files waiting to be audited and stored . . .

or your seemingless infinite pile (list) of “Things to do” . . .

or that stack of bills that seems to self propagate . . .

the pile of dirty dishes in the sink . . .

that pesky (and smelly) pile of laundry . . .

maybe even a pile of leads for your business that you’ve neglected because you’ve been too busy attending to all of your other piles.

OVERWHELM!

Can’t “SOMEONE” just make it ALL go AWAY?

But you have a problem because these are YOUR piles, and YOU are the only person “qualified” to deal with them (or so you might think).

PAUSE THE GAME!

ASSESS the mess!

DELEGATE the things that can be delegated!

PRIORITIZE the piles that remain!

Exercise the fine art of SINGLE TASKING your way to organizational bliss!

Block off not more than 3 hours to tackle ONE pile – That pile that matters the MOST.

Work on THAT pile and ignore the rest until it’s GONE!

AHHH!

Doesn’t that feel great?

ACCOMPLISHMENT!

PROGRESS!

REWARD yourself with a break and a treat!

Tomorrow, tackle the next most important pile in a similar way . . .

and so on and so on . . .

Until ALL the piles are GONE!

there now . . . You’ve just developed a “pileless” HABIT!

You’re welcome!

Good morning Barry Owen ,

A great way to tackle clearing off things on your plate. Piles can accumulate and need to be GONE! Our office is moving to the next building and actually is a good time to clear out unnecessary piles!

Good morning Barry,

The part of the treat at finishing one of the piles sounds good but it seems the pile from the honey do lists beckon's again.

Make yourself an astonishing day.

I am guilty of having a few piles... I do need to be better at delegating (especially the household things that can be addressed by others).  Nice post!

Good morning Barry. This is so true. I work hard to reduce and eliminate the piles. It's better now.

I am a pile maker.  But, once in a while, I make them disappear.
