As part of #Quest2016, I had to resolutely consider my future working habits by answering the following question.
Question 7: John Jantsch, founder of Duct Tape Marketing Consultancy Network, and author of The Commitment Engine.
#Payoff
What can you stop doing in 2016 such that it would allow you to focus on higher payoff activities?
For immediate pay-off:
Stop playing computer games when I feel overwhelmed, and take a real break from the computer instead.
The pay-off:
Better health via less stress and strain, a real fresh brain, a happier computer.
For medium-term pay-off:
Stop spending hours on job or assignment applications which lead to nothing.
The pay-off:
More time to write stories which are more likely to pay something—if not soon, then someday in the future.
For long-term pay-off:
Stop being a mouse about my abilities and accomplishments.
The pay-off: My work would move to a synonymous shelf, instead of remaining in the anonymous box.
