Powerful Commitments

Powerful Commitments

“Yes, I’ll run that report.” “No problem, I’ll stop at the store on the way home.” “I’ll feed the dog.” We all make commitments like those above all day long.

Distracted Driving

Distracted Driving

Although we have become increasingly dependent on our mobile devices and have become experts at multitasking, we must remember to sit our phones down when we sit in the driver’s seat.

No, thank you.

No, thank you.

In reality, all people can do is manage their commitments. Regardless of what people think and do, time does go on. Do you agree? If you accept the first claim, then you can notice observe and assess that we make endless tradeoffs for one value or concern over all the others in the given moment.

A study released in 2012 brought to light that professionals lose 31 hours per month on unproductive meetings. Think about that. Four work days per month are wasted! Another study found that 73% of professionals admit to working on something unrelated to the meeting during the meeting. Why bother even going? So what are these unproductive meetings costing?
