Underpromise and overdeliver

The cliche about overpromising and underdelivering is an interesting business philosophy.
The message relates to limitations and accomplishments. Most business people deal in the language of "deliverables." A deliverable applied to daily life is simply, "getting things done."

Today, people are obsessed with getting things done, the laundry, cleaning the garage, the dinner party, the bills. Not getting everything done usually relates to the converse of the cliche or overpromising and underdelivering.

A few easy tips to avoid this common problem:

1. Be practical in your goal setting
2. Be aware of how much time each task takes
3. Do not overschedule
4. Allow for flex time

I reccomend to many of my clients that they make smaller daily goals in order to achieve more each day. Over time, these little accomplishments add up to big change!
