Have you let things slide because you have been distracted by the summer heat or the lake calling your name? It is okay for a little while but do not let it go too long or you might have trouble getting on track. I want to give you a few tips to stay focused so you can have fun with your family and friends and keep your business thriving.

What can you do while you are a passenger in a car on the way to my destination?

• Write out thank you cards. A word of thanks does not need a whole lot of time but the time you spend appreciating someone can have infinite returns.
• Write out your Tweets or Facebook posts for the week or month.
• Write a paragraph or two for that new article, blog post, or book that you are writing.
• Read a magazine or book related to your subject matter or expertise. Hone your skills.
• Perform vocal exercises. Get everyone in the car to join in – create your own choir!
• Listen to audiobooks or recorded teleseminars so you are continuously learning.
• Record your thoughts on audio for your next article, blog post, or book. Prepare a podcast.
• Plan out your marketing strategy for the month. Set 3 new goals for the next 3 months.
• Meditate or pray – clearing your mind.
• Plan your days to have 30-60 minutes of time for yourself during your trip.

Vacations are great to recharge and reconnect with your family and friends. You definitely need some downtime. The suggestions up above need only take 20 minutes or as long as you want to keep the momentum going while you get refreshed!

What do you do to keep focused on what you want for your business  during the heat of summer?
