Focus on
Your Core Competency
You will
never ‘find’ time for anything. If you want time, you must make it.
– Charles Bruxton
Are you a ‘Jack of all trades,
but master of none’?
Today, we live in a world of
specialization and you have to be a specialist in any one specific field. You
should identify your special talent and become an expert in that area. You
should focus all your efforts to develop that talent. This is called ‘core
competency’. Many organizations focus all their attention on their core
competence and even stop manufacturing products which do not fit into this
strategy.
Over this weekend, introspect and
reflect to find out your core competency. Analyze and evaluate if you are
spending adequate time on this area. Check if your time is dissipated on
activities which may be interesting, but does not relate to your core
competency. Prepare a ‘not to do list’ in which you list at least five
activities, which do not belong to your core specialization area to release
your time to pursue your most important activities.
Unless you say ‘no’ to
unimportant, but interesting trivial things, you will not find time to do the
most important and critical things which will add value to your life.
