Put Tasks Second and Relationships First

Joseph Scott from the Coaching Room has recently produced an article on 15 Tips for running your brain more effectively.

He described tip 7 as short yet powerful. I have his permission to produce this tip in our e-news this month.

For the whole article head to The Coaching Room website.

As we all rush around in life, we can experience more and more requests or even demands to do things and get stuff done. This is as true in our personal space as much as it is in our professional lives. Often we want or need the agreement or co-operation from those around us, be it our life partner, children or work colleagues to get these things done.

Have you noticed how difficult that can be sometimes? The probability is that you have been putting the tasks that need to be done more front and centre than the quality of your relating and relationship with these ‘significant others”.

So tip 7 - take some time out with these ‘others’ and put your relationship, connection and care of them first and foremost. If you can do this in a genuine and consistent way, you may be moved at how much easier it is to get all those other tasks done.
