I was up this morning looking over the things to do for the day, and I became overwhelmed for a moment. The large to-do list loomed over me, threatening to drag me down into the icy depths (still on the Halloween dramatical kick, yes).

Have you ever been in a similar situation… All of the things in your life are screaming out for your attention and the stress just gets to be too much and what usually happens is you just don’t do anything, or you spend all your time thinking about what you need to do, instead of actually doing it.

I was trying to decide what to write about today, when I remembered a great piece of advice from Steve Pavlina — Give yourself 60 seconds to think about a decision… Any decision in your life, and then decide, and immediately begin doing whatever it is you have decided.

Practicing this will greatly improve your decision making skills, productivity, time management, and a whole host of other things that will add to your success.

Try it out.

I’ve been practicing this way of making decisions for about three weeks now, and I can tell you that I’ve been crossing things off my list, left and right. In fact, I usually find that I’m so productive, that I run out of things to do for the day, and I’m left trying to figure out how to spend all my extra time.

But as they said on Reading Rainbow… don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself.
