It All Comes Tumbling Down: How Much Is Too Much?
Have you ever watched someone juggle chainsaws? I have—my speaker friends The Passing Zone do it several times a week. Scary right? I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes, would you? But in fact, you already have been, at least in a sense, if you're in a position of any authority at work. The difference is that this crazy duo juggles dangerous objects for fun, as you may have seen on America’s Got Talent.

You might have a job with one big responsibility (a single chainsaw), such as a bodyguard (protect someone), lifeguard (keep people from drowning), grocery store bagger (pack up groceries), or personal assistant (make someone’s life easier), but they're uncommon—especially in the business world. Managers and team members alike tend to find themselves juggling multiple responsibilities and projects (three to five chainsaws), in addition to the job's normal maintenance tasks.

January 5, 2015: D = Discipline. Maintain productive behaviors and control! Discipline is your ability to consistently follow your systems. Having the knowledge won’t matter if you can’t stick to your guns. To maximize your productivity, you need to learn to do what must be done, and to exercise restraint over your own impulses, emotions, and desires. If you're self-disciplined, you exhibit consistent focus in your daily work—even when you don't feel like it. This webinar will help you stop procrastinating and stay on track during the day.
