By taking the 5 Choices you are sure to achieve extraordinary results. You will be empowered to achieve outcomes that have previously been outside your reach.

You would be receiving s from us for the next 12 weeks. Go through these, complete the exercises and tasks. Also go through your guidebook and just watch what happens. Start by working on just the few recommended actions and then continue working on one small behavior at a time, you will see a measurable change in your ability to eliminate the activities that distract you from achieving your most important goals. You will establish new paradigms of your roles, effective weekly and daily planning, technology mastery, and energy renewal for truly extraordinary achievements. If by chance you miss a week, don't get discouraged; pick up right where you left off. We would be very happy to learn from you on your top three take aways from this workshop and how you want to implement your learning. BECOME EXTRAORDINARY Good luck on your journey. Stephen R. Covey

8 Week 8: Choice 1: Act on the Important, Don't React to the Urgent. Many people think if they could just do more things faster, they'd be more productive. Their brains are hijacked by incoming demands; they lose the ability to discern between important and unimportant priorities. By contrast, extraordinarily productive people don't just react to the "incoming." They carefully discern important from unimportant priorities, and they are proactive about investing their time only in those things that deserve their finest effort and attention. This is the first Choice to make if you want an extraordinary life. Many people fail to realize they have the power to choose for themselves how they will live and work. They see themselves as victims of their circumstances. But if you make Choice 1, you literally take charge of your life. You're free to create your own future. Keep your participant guidebook handy and refer to it. Request you to continue with your efforts with Weekly and Daily Q2 planning, using the skill-set and the tool-set that you have acquired. Write to us for any support.

The truly productive don't just play the game, they change the game. They don't just do what's expected, they create their own future.

10 Week 9 : Choice 2: Go for Extraordinary, Don't Settle for Ordinary. Having made Choice 1, you can now get clear on exactly what is important to you. Too many see themselves as "ordinary," as cogs in a big organizational machine. They lack a clearly defined, motivating vision of the extraordinary contribution they could be making. The truly productive don't just play the game, they change the game. They don't just do what's expected, they create their own future. They are not just "walking job descriptions" they make a unique difference that matters. Keep your participant guidebook handy and refer to it. Request you to continue with your efforts with Weekly and Daily Q2 planning, using the skill-set and the tool-set that you have acquired. Write to us on your experience so far. We would love to hear from you.

11 Become Extraordinary!

12 Week 10: Choice 3: Schedule the Big Rocks, Don't Sort Gravel. If you've made Choice 2 and clarified the extraordinary things you want to achieve in your life, you're ready to make a plan to actually make them happen. So many live life by default. They use what energy they have on just keeping up, and they're so often frustrated at their inability to do even that. Life is just one thing after another, a stream of undifferentiated "gravel." But this is not a picture of productivity. The truly productive actively plan how they will use their time and energy, ensuring that it goes to the "big rocks" rather than keeping up with the gravel. Kindly refer to your participant guidebook and refresh all your learnings from time to time. Request you to continue with your efforts with Weekly and Daily Q2 planning, using the skill-set and the tool-set that you have acquired. Write to us on your experience so far. We would love to hear from you.

14 Week 11: Choice 4: Rule Your Technology, Don't Let It Rule You. Now you have your Choice 3 plan in place, but there's a problem. You can easily get blown off course by relentless demands on your time that come at you "virtually" every minute. Just when you're getting mastery over your own life, your technology threatens to master you. Hundreds of apps are available that promise to increase productivity. Ironically, as we've seen, technology can do the opposite and disrupt productivity. Many people are "urgency addicts" who can't look up from their smartphones long enough to avoid walking into walls. But you can leverage the same technology to become extraordinarily productive. You can design a system for yourself that keeps you focused on the important and fends off the unimportant. You can draw on the power of social media to transform your work and your life. Kindly refer to your participant guidebook and refresh all your learnings from time to time. Request you to continue with your efforts with Weekly and Daily Q2 planning, using the skill-set and the tool-set that you have acquired. Write to us on your experience so far. We would love to hear

A stressed-out brain is continually immersed in adrenaline, a high-octane chemical that over-stimulates every system of the body.

16 Week 12: Choice 5: Fuel Your Fire, Don't Burn Out. You've made Choices 1 through 4. You have a new mindset, a new plan, and a new system to make it happen. But without the physical and mental energy to pursue your dreams, you risk falling victim to your own personal "energy crisis." The crushing stress we live with can bake the brain-literally. A stressed-out brain is continually immersed in adrenaline, a high-octane chemical that over-stimulates every system of the body. The result-we wear down fast, we barely get through the day, we become exhausted or even ill. And eventually we burn out. True productivity requires recharging the brain and body continually. People inspired by a high purpose can go far, but if they are actively caring for the brain-feeding, resting, and exercising it properly-they can go infinitely further. Kindly refer to your participant guidebook and refresh all your learnings from time to time. Request you to continue with your efforts with Weekly

17 and Daily Q2 planning, using the skill-set and the tool-set that you have acquired. Write to us on your experience so far. We would love to hear from you. Become Extraordinary!
