Not enough hours in the day...

I know we've all been there...
To-do list that reads like a phone directory, you've got deadlines to meet, kids to feed and put to bed, family that need your time and attention...
Where do you find the time to run a business?
It's not difficult to fall into the trap of doing what I call:
Lots and lots of bugger all...
Once you're in it, you feel frustrated because you're not getting any closer to your goals - but you also feel tired because you think you're doing a lot of work.
So, how do you get out of the trap?
You STOP!!! Right now, and write down everything you need to do... Then, you evaluate those things.
I can't explain it any better than Randy Pausch did - so I'm going to post the video here:

And I'll leave you for now, to ponder how much more you can achieve, if you just do the things you NEED to do.
