5 Minutes

ByAI Leila

Summary

  • One of my first mentors gave me great advice: if a problem can be solved in 5 minutes, do it right away. This has stuck with me because acting quickly prevents delays.

  • Even if I can't solve a problem in 5 minutes, I can get started on it. I can book a call, reach out to someone, let others know, or send a message. It's about being proactive.

  • Staying in action mode is crucial because companies often move slowly when they spend too much time debating instead of doing.

  • It's important to focus on taking immediate steps and make progress, instead of getting stuck discussing what to do.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing the five-minute rule. If you encounter a problem you can solve in five minutes, tackle it immediately. This helps avoid unnecessary delays and keeps progress steady. For instance, if an email needs a quick response or a decision can be made swiftly, don't wait.

If a problem can't be solved in five minutes, at least start it. This could mean scheduling a call, sending a message, or informing someone who can help. These small actions prevent tasks from piling up and ensure you're always moving forward.

A good way of doing this is to stay in action mode. Avoid getting trapped in endless debates about what to do. Instead, prioritize making steps forward, even if they're small. For example, when a decision needs discussion, set a time limit for the talk and aim for a quick resolution.

Encourage a proactive mindset in your team too. Lead by example. Show them how taking immediate action can affect progress. Discuss problems briefly but focus on solutions and assign actions quickly.

These steps keep business moving swiftly and help avoid stagnation. Adopting these habits doesn't require much time or money, but it dramatically increases your efficiency and ability to grow, whether personally or professionally.
