Have you ever run around all day? Not getting anything really done. You have been busy all
day doing things. However by the end of the day you are exhausted? You don’t remember what
you did that was even productive. The days get busier with stuff and you feel like you will
never get caught up. At the end of the day you put your head on your pillow at night. Then
you start all over again the next day. Does your day lead you or you lead your day?

Have you ever known someone that is overwhelmed in life? Do you know someone that goes and
goes? They never take a break. Have you known someone that never laughs? How about complains
of a headache all the time?

There is a way to break though the catch up game of time. Here are three ways to catch up.

1. Shake the time up. Get up an hour earlier or stay up an hour later. It feels great to
have one hour to yourself in the morning without any interruptions. More and more people in
this generation are staying up later. The media runs late night talk shows because of it.

2. Do your work somewhere else than in your office. Do your work under a tree or by a pool
depending on your weather. You can work in a library or a coffee shop. Being in or by
nature, opens your mind. It gives you more ways to look at things in a different way. You
can do this with some of your tasks. You will be more productive than you can imagine.

3. Decrease your unproductive activities. Over three- fourths of your activities only give you about
one-fourth of your results during the day. The key to success is to realize what part of
your day is producing results that you desire. If those results are what you want, do it
again. If not, change your activities. It matters whether you are a stay at home mom
or a business developer. Find out what part of your day is productive or unproductive. It
can break you or save you.

So what does your day look like? Is it a rush like a roller coaster? Are you tired at the
end of the day? If you answered yes to one of these questions, it it time to shake up your
day Breakthrough your day like you own it.
