LESSON 19: DEFINE YOUR ROLES FOR PRODUCTIVITY
As you begin to strengthen and build your Team it is important that you understand WHO you are. Taking the time to identify this and knowing your roles will strengthen your brand.
Think about the different roles you have in life and jot down your most important 5–7 of them. For example, they could be: Wife, Husband, Parent, Coach, Leader, Volunteer. Not only does this help you think of the markets you want to target (like-minded people), but it also allows you to prioritize your time. Knowing clearly what your primary roles are empowers you to be able to say no to the distractions and the requests that are asked of you on a regular basis. Do any of you feel like you are constantly being bombarded with requests that make you feel overwhelmed and out of energy? Maybe you are saying “yes” to too many things that are taking you away from your most important roles. Here is a little assignment that will help you with this challenge.
1. Identify the 5–7 roles that you play and list them below.
2. On your calendar, schedule something in the next 30 days that will help fulfill those roles (e.g., if you are a spouse, schedule a date night; if your role is volunteer, what is the next event or activity that you will participate in over the next 30 days, etc.). Put it on your calendar and commit to doing it. Whatever you choose to do, whether it is big or small, list it below.
3. Start getting into the practice of looking at every task that you do every day and asking yourself if it fits into any of your roles. If the answer is yes, then DO IT. If the answer is no, don’t spend time on it. This is where we waste time getting caught up doing unimportant things that might be “important” to others, but don’t get us to our goals (and in turn creates a lot of stress and anxiety, feeling overworked and unorganized).
Once you get in the routine of sticking to your roles, it becomes easier to DO the things you NEED to get done. You will feel great as you move closer to your goals.
TO-DO:Write down your top 5-7 roles.
