Find yourself in a sales slump? Work slump? Author Michael Masterson has a good 3-step process for breaking out of that slump:
1. Rate each of your daily tasks as low-, middle-, or high-energy. The results will usually reflect an inverse relationship to your priorities.
2. Schedule your first hour for the low-priority jobs. Set an alarm - and as soon as it goes off, switch.
3. Attack the middle-energy jobs next. Again, set a one-hour time limit. When the buzzer goes off, switch to your high-energy pile.
Note: This is exactly opposite of what Masterson normally advise. But if you do it only once in a while, it may be just what you need to get beyond the slump.
