Do you arrive at the office each morning prepared to accomplish a list of goals you have set for yourself? Or are you the type who arrives full of energy for the day ahead and gets caught up immediately in a minor problem that sidetracks you until the day is half gone and you have not really accomplished much of anything?
The key to avoiding those wasted days is to place a priority on preparation. I’ve learned a lot about preparation from Richard Flint, a motivational speaker I have had the pleasure of hearing several times at the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA) conventions.
