Just trying to do too much? Don’t know what to do or when to do it?
Seems like this is something that bugs a lot of folks, me, too at times. But I also know that for me, sometimes, it’s just an
EXCUSE!
“Ouch!” you say?
Me, too 🙂
But often enough, it’s the truth.
We bury ourselves behind the ‘I’m just too busy to get it all done’ factor instead of taking charge of our day, our time, our lives, and getting on with the doing.
Here’s a couple of things that work for me, should/could work for you, too . . .
The “Success 6” system works for that, too. (For more on Success 6 see “TCOBaG: Not enough time in my day”)
Where to start:
List ’em.
Prioritize them.
Start at number one, work your way down.
Look at your list and see if there’s some stuff that’s just in there, in your way, that maybe just needs to get shelved for now, or even canned.
Also, it sometimes helps to just build a bigger fire!
Flammable fuel could include:
1. Listen to motivational/inspirational speakers and music, cds, mp3s while you work, while you exercise
2. Build up your “Why”. ie focus on the rewards the tasks bring, and not on the tasks
3. Outsource what others can do so you can focus on what you do best. This also improves productivity in even the laziest most unmotivated person, like I can be too often. You need it done, you know it should be done, you’re dragging your feet, checking email, stats, the forums, but if you’ve hired someone reliable to do it, it is still getting done and your business is still growing.
Be well, live well, die last.
