Join Dave Crenshaw for an in-depth discussion in this video Avoiding the crowd mindset, part of Time Management Tips Weekly.
- Let's imagine for a moment that you're shopping…at the grocery store.…You see several checkout lines in front of you.…A couple of the checkout lines are long,…but another two are shorter.…Which line do you get into?…The value of using the shortest line at a grocery store…is obvious, right?…Yet so many people, when it comes to time,…put themselves in the longest line, so to speak,…because of the choices that they make…in terms of prioritization.…For example, in the US, April 15th is generally tax day.…
It's the day when everyone needs to submit…their tax report to the government…to make a payment or to get their tax refund.…Now occasionally, leadership at accounting firms…ask me to help them be more productive.…What they'll report to me is that the weeks…leading up to April 15th are the craziest,…busiest weeks of the the entire year.…Why, because almost everyone waits until that last moment…to get their taxes in.…But when you do that, it means you're going to get…less attention from your accountant.…
It means it's going to take longer to get everything done.…
