Tips
Series 2: Programme 3
Tips:
- Make sure you create space to allow your children enter your world.
- Create plenty of regular informal time with your family. Be in their life,
don't just drop in.
- Learn about the things your children are interested in and be a part of
their life.
- Use whatever time you have waiting around during work to get some other work done.
- Keep an eye on your business and where it is going at least once a week.
- Get administrative work done by setting yourself a time limit and focusing on getting whatever you can get done finished in that amount of time.
- Take regular time out for yourself and to spend with loved ones and friends.
- Pay attention to how much sleep you're getting.
The Law of Deadlines:
When you put a deadline on something it sharpens your focus. This was one of the reasons why Joe found the stopwatch as being so useful to help him with his administrative work.
The Law of Identity:
This suggests that you become what you do. Often we describe ourselves by what it is that we do. Those who smoke call themselves smokers for example. With Joe, I needed him to start seeing himself as the Dad he was again rather than simply the provider. To do this, he started to create an environment which was set up with space for the girls. His home became a second home for them.
