Posted Jun 15, 2009 09:58 AM
This is a new week, a new day. How will you spend your 168 hours or 10,080 minutes this week? -- Efficient? -- Effective? Will there be happiness, joy, purpose and balance included too? See the brief video in Passion Banding Community or in Video Section of BHW under category of Advice. There is also a new article in Passion Branding Community with questions to assist you with defining your purpose and passion. See you in Passion Branding Community. Have a happy and (efficient - effective?? - you choose) day. Barbara Filla Passion Branding Community Coach

Hi Barbara!

I've just come from your Efficient v Effective video :) First, let me tell you that clicking on the comment link there is neither! LOL! It doesn't work and that could be why the counter is still showing no comments.

Second, Thanks for reminding me. I'm sometimes too submerged in the effort to be efficient to get to the 20% of my effort that gets me 80% of my effectiveness.

Thanks again!

Rijuta, an interesting take on efficiency and effectiveness.

I like your thoughts.

Hi Lana,

I appreciate your comments and thoughts....I didn't go into the depth you did. Thank you.

Prior to writing about this blog, I felt both being efficient and effective was what I was striving for.

However, I am more focused on being effective now because my ultimate goal is to get results that i want, and I can measure results more easily using effective as a guide.

Efficiency is an 'effective' criteria for reviewing results, however efficiency can cause more stress if one is trying to be efficient and at the same time effective. I prefer to move forward if it's not quite perfect, not quite efficient. The bigger goal is to keep moving forward toward the goal or result.

I'd like to hear what other readers think. Each person likely has to define what works best for them.

Hi Barbara,

I put first on my list: happiness, joy, purpose and balance.
Then my effectiveness is enhanced, giving me greater efficiency

Always helpful, Barbara!
Thank you!
