Hub You - Get Focused, Get Results
Most companies focus on developing a brochure, a slick 4 color tri-fold brochure with pictures, the name of their company, phone number, etc. That's actually how people treat it It's just a brochure with very little meaning. It's treated with low perceived value and usually ends up in the garbage. Most brochures developed are full of "me too" or copy focused on the company itself.How can you promote your company or establish some type of expertise and put it into a vehicle like a consumer guide or report that the consu

Many industry sectors have abatement professionals and consultants and there are even trade journals specializing in these things. Unfortunately the greatest abatement consultants are so busy that they generally cannot even return phone calls as they travel the world putting out fires and handling crisis management. The issues, which are most pressing are those dealing with multiple reactions caused by abatement procedures in one sector which affect another and the law of unintended consequences which occur.For instance let us take a
We all have done it, whether we are parents or not. We’ve encouraged someone to remove a distraction so they could focus on the task, conversation or subject at hand.
If you wear corrective lenses of any kind and go for your annual vision check, you know what it is like when your new prescription is applied. You see more clearly with greater focus. Suddenly your mind doesn’t have to think about focusing, things already are without “working” at it.
It is crystal clear to me that we all know how important focus (of all kinds) is, but many of us aren’t very good at it. (As a side note, I write this article because focus is something that I continually work on getting better at; it is my hope that the things I will share from my journey, will help you too.)
This article will target three specific areas with specifics suggestions for practicing improved focus: planning, questioning and removing.
Planning
Daily planning is critical. Many people have a “to-do” list, and while having one will help you be more focused than not having one, most people don’t use them to their maximum benefit. Too often the list degenerates into a list of the crises that MUST be handled today – or as Dr. Stephen Covey says in his work, the urgent, but not necessarily important things. The other problem with many people’s lists is that they are way too long (too often, mine included).

The Flow of Natural Resources and Raw Materials is vital to our nations Industrial Capacity and Job base. There are many reasons why we should be harvesting our own raw materials that already exist in this country, rather than importing them, whenever it is feasible or possible. When there are reasons, which prevent us from doing the collecting of those natural resources within our own country, then and only then should we look towards our trading partners to supply us such raw materials and resources.When we can mine such raw materi

You walk into your local grocery or market, looking for apples. You see the displays. They are bursting with apples of many varieties. To your left you notice a sea of yellow and red apples – the sign says they are Jonathans. To your right you see bright, green Granny Smiths. But straight ahead, you see the biggest, reddest Red Delicious apples you have ever seen. You are drawn to the display knowing that is what you want. As you walk closer you can see that the merchant has polished every one.You pick up a bag and start to se

Procurement management can be defined as the independent monitoring or tracking of manufacturing processes to purchase order requirements. An implicit assumption of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) analysis is that the purchase price per unit is constant. In an inflationary period, this assumption is not valid. If the rate of inflation is predictable the EOQ formula can be applied.The standard EOQ model assumes that materials can be procured instantaneously, and hence implies that the firm may place an order for replenishment when the i
Here are three things to do to improve your daily planning for greater focus:
1. Align your daily work with your goals. The most important thing you can do to increase your focus is to have goals. If your goals are clear (which includes having them written down) it is much easier to re-focus your efforts towards them. Goals provide a compass for your efforts. Make sure your list for the day includes items specifically related to your goals.
2. Do your daily planning before the day begins. Many suggest it is best to do this the evening before because it allows your subconscious to “work on” your list as you sleep. If not then, do it at the close of the previous day or at the very start of your morning.
3. Prioritize the list. If you have the long list syndrome, identify the 5 things that are most important to be completed that day. Make sure that at least one of those things is in service of your most important goals, not just putting out the urgent fires you are facing.
Questioning
There are some questions you can ask yourself throughout the day to help you stay focused. They include:
• Is what I am doing now focused on my most important objectives? If the answer is yes, great! If the answer is no, time to re-focus.
• How is my energy level? If you feel it waning a bit, take a five minute walk, a ten minute power nap or eat a smart snack of almonds or some other energy food.
• What is distracting me now? If something is, determine how to quickly handle it, or remove that distraction. Which leads to my third set of ideas …
Removing
Distractions are everywhere. The TV, a cluttered desk, the “ding” of a new email being delivered, more advertising in more places, cell phones and pagers… I could go on, but you are already thinking of the distractions in your
