Juggling Elephants by Jones Loflin

This was a fun, energetic presentation!

Quotes and Notes:

I don't pretend to understand what you're looking for - it's up to you to bring your situation to this blue print.

I'm giving a fresh perspective, I'm NOT an expert.

STOP juggling elephants!

In your struggle to get it all done - what's NOT getting done? We can't do it all!

Prioritize!

Circus Analogy:
Decide the flow of the acts
Performers - anyone who has expectations of you
Most important - audience response - who is pleased with you?

Every act must serve a purpose.

Gain conscious control of time & energy.

Your Circus Rings: Work, Self & Relationships

Create the line up.
Apple CEO: We say "no" to good ideas everyday!

Performers:
1. Trapeze Act - everyone plays a role in the success of the act
2. Animal Trainers - balance reward and feedback
3. General Manager - meets the needs of the performers
4. Clowns - positive distractions while something is being set up - when performers need the distraction

Take a PLANNED intermission!
