Tick-Tock, another unproductive minute goes by

---

Hello from the road.  As I type I’m currently on a long tour facilitating workshops for a client in far-away countries which means I’m out of my normal routine.  There are stretches where I have an abundance of spare time; typically I watch old episodes of Breaking Bad and do work for my other clients.  I always enjoy my work, but the nature in which I'm operating has revealed one really unpleasant thing about how I work…
 
I have the attention span of a gnat. 
 
I can focus for about 15 minutes, and then I lose it.  I either have to check the weather back home in Katonah, NY, or I have to see if the SF Giants have moved up in the wild card standings (since my last check 30 minutes ago), or I have to  w h a t e v e r…..! 
 
And I consider myself a fairly structured, goal-oriented, driven professional.  Working on this tour has made me admit I can be more efficient with my time.  Who doesn’t want to increase productivity so free time can expand!?  But it’s not just that …effective time management for me translates to strong and consistent goal achievement, and fulfillment in everything I do.
 
I’ve been preaching 'n teaching principles of time management and goal setting to my clients for years, so the brick finally hit on my head and I created a time management workshop.  (Ok, so it should have taken me half the time to plan and build the curriculum than it did…but nobody is perfect!.  Obviously not me.)
 
The workshop should actually be held next week since we're entering the time of year (post Labor Day) when the clock seems to move at double-speed.  But alas, please join me for a half-day session called “Owning Time, Hitting Goals” in New York City on 3 December of this year…here’s more information for those of you who admit to needing help working on your productivity game!
