The Good and the Bad

Yesterday a good friend shared with me an idea she uses for time and energy management. She has a chart. On the left side she list those things that she is good at and loves to do. On the right she lists those things that she either is not good at or hates to do. Keeping the chart in front of her, she can concentrate on her strengths, and find a way to offload the things she does not like to do.

This can be very effective. We are energized when we accomplish things we love to do and are good at. Brian Tracy says that each of us has a skill that we are absolutely excellent at and we should hone and polish that skill to be the best that we can be.

A chart of strengths and weaknesses can be the start of the search of the one thing you are truly great at doing.
