There is work and admin, volunteer service and every day life but you need to carve out some time for you alone and to be with others.
Don’t just kind of do it though. Remove the distractions, put down the phone, turn off the radio and have nothing on tv.
Spend quality time means you are focused on each other, not other things.
No drama required. Wish people well. Compliment them.
Assume the best intentions and let people move on.
Life is hard enough without snippety comments adding fuel to the fire.
It’s easy to spend time frivolously. However, if you use time wisely, you’ll be better for it.
Find a way. Don’t look for obstacles, overcome them.
Some of your best conversations are going to happen late at night with your friends. It may involve beer or wine and it will still be fun.
Enjoy these moments when they arise.
Focus your time and attention on key tasks each day and week. Do not overburden yourself with too many tasks to do. You are likely to dilute the progress you are making.
You can change your circumstances.
Have hope. Create a vision. Make a plan. Work towards it.
Get through a day, a week and a month. It will get easier. Five years from now you’ll look back and be astounded with how far you’ve come and how different your life is.
Your mindset is the only thing you truly have that can’t be ruined if you stay strong.
It’s so ready to fall into a negative mindset, wallow there, and think everything is bad. It takes incredible strength to keep positive about your future when things aren’t going your way.
Yet, you can do it. Focus on the amazing 90% and not the dreary 10%. You’ll be happier. Your friends will be happier. You’ll attract happier people into your life.
Getting things done can sometimes be a challenge. Some items take longer than expected or deliver curve balls that you can’t quite handle easily.
Regardless of the challenges, train yourself to take rapid action. Try to complete tasks in two minutes, or five at the maximum. Then get straight on to the next one.
This sprint style of completing tasks will greatly help you progress through your workload at a pace that will leave most people in awe.
When was the last time you took a look at your goals, their timing and how well your tracking against them?
Some things should be reviewed daily. Other items would be fine on a weekly basis. Much bigger picture items can be reviewed on a monthly basis and even annually. Although make sure all the smaller milestones for these big goals are reviewed more frequently.
Goals are wonderful things to have but you really do need to be kept accountable with them or you’ll miss the outcome, the timing or both.
