Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica in 2007! What a difference 100 years Makes?
It seems almost unbelievable that I could be blogging via wireless looking out over my balcony surrounded by jungle and sea, here in magical Costa Rica. Beach Bum you're thinking? Hardly! Already this morning, I've written to 5 clients about ongoing projects, connected with my sister who lives in Texas, completed the last segment of a new training curriculum and am preparing for a progressive tour of some of Costa Rica's most pristine and secluded beaches. Tomorrow a Sloth Rescue. ( I believe a woman should rescue a sloth at least once in her lifetime and I'm not talking about the human kind.)
As I coach companies on the journey from Now to WOW! I talk about progress through technology yet caution about the over-rated benefit of multi-tasking.
Did you know that when you switch from task to task you are losing about 40% efficiency?
So what's the option? A power hour. Provide each employee with 1 hour in a quiet and creative space free of interruption to focus on their priority project. Watch productivity zoom and morale soar!
Hey and try this secluded focus time on for size yourself and experience the thrill Getting It Done and Getting it Right in Your Personal Power Hour.
In January, my book with 7 Habits Author, Dr. Stephen Covey will be published entitled "Blueprint for Success". As many of you know, Dr. Covey is our First Things First Guru! If you've already adopted that habit...perhaps Add First Things First in a Power Hour!
PS: Travel Notation for the Secluded Working Vacation: One of my favorite guesthouses for writing retreats is located on Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast. It's where Wireless meets the Sea and Jungle.
