M.A.D. Massive Action Day

If you’ve got a list of things to do or tasks that you keep putting off, why not set up a Massive Action Day.  See just how much you can achieve when you're focused and committed to taking action!

Team up with a friend or colleague and commit to a day (or a few hours) when you can work together. Make a list of what you want to get done.

It can be one major task or lots of small ones. Perhaps a project you want to complete or jobs around the house you need to get done.

List them out and if possible think about how long they’re going to take or the maximum amount of time you’re going to spend on them. For example:

· Catch up on Emails (30 mins)
· Complete a report (2 hrs)
· Update client files (1 hr)
· Clear filing (30 mins)
· Tidy office/living room … (30 mins)

Set a start and end time.  Call each other on the hour, every hour.  The call needs to be brief and should last no more than 5 minutes. Say what you’re going to get done in the next hour. Hang up and go do it.

Call back an hour later, report how you’ve done and what you’re going to do next. Don’t forget to keep it brief!

You’ll be amazed at how much you get done and how much energy it creates throughout the day.

If you want to try this out for yourself, then why not join a Focus Days on your own or with a group of friends.
