Have you got too many things on your to-do list? (and what to do about it!)

There are some things that don’t need a to-do list entry!

I was with a potential client this week and, towards the end of the call, she stopped me and said, “oh wow, what did you just say, that was priceless!”

I laughed and replied, ​“maybe I should have recorded the call!”​

I don’t routinely offer to record calls, but I can. It’s super-easy with the push of a button. But when I ask clients, they usually tell me that, even when the recordings are there, they don’t listen back.

Me too. While I love to listen to training calls and groups, I don’t usually listen back to coaching calls.

You Always Know What to Do…

The point though, isn’t about why I do or don’t do this, but the fact that it isn’t at the front of my mind to record the call, because there’s a deeper part of me that knows that someone is very unlikely to listen back.

It’s one less thing on my to-do list. Not because I’ve done anything to cross it off. But because I have a sub-conscious ‘knowing’ what to do and what not to do.

Now, when I’m running a webinar for example, I like to record them, so sometimes it will occur to me to stick a post-it in front of my computer to remind myself!
