You Can't
Do Everything As a business owner or manager, you can do just about whatever you want, but the time you have for what you want to do is limited. You need to figure out what is most important to you, and what can wait. Spending the time to do this can mean the difference between getting things done, and getting burnt out. "You can do anything, but not everything." - David Allen So, how do you decide what to do, and what to postpone?
Remember that these don't all need to be big items. Something as small as having the company logo repainted on the sign out front or reprinting your price books qualifies if you feel that it's important. Finally, write down the two lists that you've created. Include the date the item was added to the list next to each item. One list you will begin to implement right now. The other will be the basis for your future progress. Take a little time every week to review your progress, and add new items to the lists. You may want to write down the progress you have made on each item as a way to hold yourself accountable. As you accomplish your highest priorities, you can move items from your future goals onto the current list.
This process sounds
simplistic, but the mere act of writing down your goals
with their priority and recording your progress changes
the process from simply planning to doing. Just as
your encouragement of the people who work for and with
you can improve their efforts, this process can become a
way to encourage yourself to concentrate on the things
that really matter. Focusing on your real priorities will keep you from planning to do everything while accomplishing nothing. You will get more done, and feel less overwhelmed by the seemingly endless list of things you'd like to accomplish.

Important Notice! We have received reports from some of our Flat Rate software users that their Category Books are printing a single blank page. This problem can be caused by another Windows update that was issued recently by Microsoft. This Microsoft file fault can affect any software that relies on Microsoft programming tools, so you should be aware of this with all of the programs installed on your Windows computers. We have posted an update that repairs the damage to the Price Guide software here: http://www.nspgweb.com/update/nspgupdate.htm Please download and install this new Flat Rate update before printing your next set of price books. NSPG Task Bundles For several years now, we have been working with our clients to create compact sections of their Flat Rate Price Books that include pages that combine a series of Tasks on a single page that offer their customers comprehensive solutions to their most frequently performed Tasks. These customized book sections provide bundles of Tasks that make it easy for their customers to choose the right solution to common problems which makes closing the sale much easier for the tech.
Even if you do not use
our Flat Rate Price Books, with a bit of extra work,
The NSPG Bundle option adds the ability to create groups of Tasks that are printed on a single page. This can be a super sales tool offering all the options that your customers need to choose the solution that is right for them. It includes pictures, long descriptions, a special warranty field, and financing features. All of these features are customizable to allow each user the ability to address their specific business needs.
NSPG Task Bundle Highlights:
The NSPG Bundle Package is designed to work along with your standard Price Guides to help your customers make the right choices for many of your commonly used services, and make it easier for your Techs to present the information and close the sale.
If you already know how to create Tasks using the Price Guide, this new layout will be a breeze to implement. If you need a little help, we have a step-by-step guide with illustrations to walk you through the process from start to printing.

First,
write down everything you'd like to accomplish.
Don't worry about the details, just consider the goal
itself. Once you have the list, read each item out
loud to yourself. As you read each item, decide if
it still seems important among all the other items you
have listed. If not, cross it off. Depending
on the length of the list, you may need to repeat this
process until you winnow the tasks down to just the most
important ones.
