My Top Reads of the Past Week: Change Management

Every time there is an inkling of change, people get nervous. For some reason, fear of change is very common. Maybe we’re happy with our situation. Maybe we dread the effort required to make change happen. Or maybe we’re unsure of the unfamiliar.

Whatever it is, we have to accept the fact that change is inevitable. The sooner we embrace it, the better.

Bonus: Why You Should Define Your Fears Instead Of Your Goals

Many times we don’t achieve our goals due to the lack of faith in our capabilities. In other words, we paralyze ourselves with fear and give up even before trying. Tim Ferriss introduces “fear-setting” which encourages you to write down your fears in all forms, identifying them to deal with them when the situation arises.

We love what we do, feel the Timeo-Performance experience!

As busy professionals, our schedules are often filled to the brim with meetings and tasks to complete. We can get so caught up with work that we might even forget our all-important lunch and power through dinner as well. Alas, we can only do so much given the 24 hours we have in a day. While time management is vital, being productive is another matter in its entirety.Enter time batching.
