When it's all said and done, you have to have the ability to cross things off your To Do List. Your To Do List is where the Power Time System and the Power Productivity Maxamizer meet. These two Power Systems are the heart and soul of our program here.

We can all do the proper planning, organizing, Prioritizing, do all the mechanics right, but if we are not able to bring it home, do the execution, everything up to that point will be wasted. To move forward on a consistent basis, you must be able to complete what you have deemed important to you on a daily basis. Everything we do is based on this happening.

Let's use this as an example. You are operating a manufacturing facility and you make car seats. To establish your margins, you have to find out what your capacity is each day, how many car seats you can make on a daily basis. You do some tests and you arrive at the figure of 100 car seats a day, less than that and you lose money.

Our To Do List works the same way. You figure out on a daily basis what you have to do each day in order to make money, to be successful. If you continually to do less than what you estimate each day, you will not make money and you will not be successful. What will happen is that you will start to fall behind, what is mot done today gets pushed to Tuesday and so on and so on. This chain reaction creates a situation where your To Do List is simple a wish list that has no relationship to what is actually being completed on a daily basis, the result is your are failing.

Your To Do List is a critically important check and balance in your over all process to reaching your goals and becoming successful. When you are not able to keep up with your self imposed workload, that is what your To Do List is, and then you have only one viable option. You have to scale back your expectations for yourself to a point where your To Do List and your ability to complete your tasks meet up.

One of the critical components of becoming successful and happy is being able to be in control and accomplish the goals you have set out for yourself. Perhaps the greatest source of stress and unhappiness in our lives is not being in control and not achieving what we want in life. If you are not able to achieve and complete your tasks and goals on your daily To Do List this is a signal that there is a major breakdown in your operations.

If you were a personal client of mine and you were paying me a lot of money to help you reach your goals and I was seeing that you were not able to consistently reduce your To Do List to a Done list, I would pick up the phone and tell you that we had a serious problem that had to be resolved.

Unfortunately there would only be two options available to you, to us. The first would be to find a way to enable you to complete all of the tasks on your list. Unless there was some single glaring reason that you were not able to do this, an unlikely scenario, we would be left with the second option. That option is to scale back your expectations to a level that is within your capabilities to complete on a daily basis.

Our grasp must be within our reach. We are accomplishing nothing if we do not allow our SPP's, our Systems, Policies and Procedures to do there jobs and work for us. In this case, our TO Do List will signal to us when we are loading up too much on our plate and it's time to back it up a notch or two. Ignoring this warning signal will put everything else you are doing in jeopardy.
