Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s talk a little bit about some strategies for managing self to manage a better business, specifically this idea of eliminating partially completed activities.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:18] Well, this is one of my big issues I have with myself. I have a lot of ideas and I like to put them out there. But I’m not always getting them done or finished to completion. So, the advice is, when you have this long to do list of ideas, either get them done or stop doing them. I mean, they can’t be on this list forever. If you’re seeing the same thing on the list forever, put them on a different list because they’re just getting in the way. It’s just taking mental energy away from you and it’s just not productive. All it is, is frustrating and you’re just focusing on things you’re not doing rather than the things that you are doing.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:55] So, my advice is to go through that list, that To-Do list. And the list, if you have something on there for a long time, either complete them, just go heads down and knock it out, and be done with it. Or just get them off the list. Put them on a different list, a back burner list that you don’t see every day. But learn from them or stop doing it. Just get it off the list and move on. If it’s on there for a month, then you’re not going to do it. So, just moving on to a back burner list, and be done with it, and get it out of your head.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:29] It might have been a good idea when you thought of it or maybe it wasn’t fully fleshed out, but for whatever reason, it’s not getting done. So, stop it. Just get it off the list and move on to the next thing. And it’s okay to prune the list. I mean, that should be part of your kind of regular activities is going through and auditing yourself and saying, “Look, obviously, it’s not that important to me or else I would have done it,” and move on. Because partially doing something is just a waste of your time and mental energy. Just put it on the back burner and move on to the things that you’re really putting energy and activity into.

Caren Jablonsky, Crisis Mobile Team first responder I have worked in the mental health field for over thirty years with a specialty in crisis intervention and trauma-informed care.

Over the years, I have combined my love of psychology with nutrition and have assisted people in working through mental health issues to forge a healthier way of eating.
About the Business:
I work for a “health home” that provides crisis mobile team services as well as ongoing behavioral health services including a community re-entry program for people who have been incarcerated.
