Effectiveness is the ability to achieve more in the same or shorter time with
the same or less effort and resources.
~Adeleke David Adeosun (Mr Effectiveness)
Did you know before now that you can become more effective? And that you can do so daily? I bet that effectiveness has been as vague as it has been up till now. But my objective is to help you demystify and master it to your advantage. I'll like to share one principle with you in this post that can give you a rocket boost in your performance at work and in family life.
The interesting thing is that your lot in life is tied to your capacity rating, and you can't be better if you don't think you can be better. Hence, the first thing you ought to do is to discard the average mindset you have accepted as true and normal. Why do I say so? Because the best books are yet to be written, and the brightest of stars are yet to be born. So your future is practically greater than your present; if you will turn the present into the raw material for the future you've always dreamed of.
Life is in phases; time is in seasons. Uncertainty beclouds latter seasons when current seasons are not maximized. Using the clock as a guide, we have morning, afternoon, evening and night. Each of these represents a season in your life or in your business/ career. It could even represent a season in your family life or national development.
Here is the main line:
- The most important thing to do in the morning season of any life, entity or nation is to plant seeds. This is the time to invest for the possibilities and potentials that abound in the future - the tomorrow you dream of.
- The proper thing to do in the afternoon, also safe to call the mid-life season of maturity, is to stay focused on your course. Keep busy by minding your business; avoid distractions.
- Evening time is for raking in profits. This is the season for harvesting from the seeds sown in the morning season. You need to be sensitive enough to know when to put the sickle to base of the planting and how not to destroy your investments by naivety and foolishness.
- The dark-eyed days of life are the times when you must rest. Little can be done in this season, so your investments of your youthful years better be working real hard for "YOU Inc".
Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon, for you don't
know if profit will come from one activity or another - or maybe both.
