Recruitment Hack #4 - Write A To-Do List
Write a To-Do List.
It has been a long and very hard day. You have been a maestro on the phone. Candidate calls. Client Calls. Dealing with a no-show candidate and getting that deal in (you dancer!) and now it is the end of the day. The temptation to go to the pub, or head home and get a cold one from the fridge or pour out a nice glass of red is very high indeed.
STOP RIGHT THERE!
Leaving now without doing a to-do list will leave you rudderless and slow to get going. Write a to-do list and keep the momentum going tomorrow.
If I come across as a little preachy that is because I am being preachy. To To-do lists are one of the biggest hallmarks of success. From Benjamin Franklin to Stephen Covey to Elon “I send cars into space” Musk all swear by to-do lists.
Some people when beginning with the to-do list revolution get caught up in what type of to-do list to use, when, essentially the first thing to do is get into a habit of doing a to-do list. Then slowly over time getting incrementally better, then experimenting with different To-Do list techniques.
