There are times you need to sprint. Just before holidays, you sprint at work. You try to catch up and delegate and prepare ahead in that last week before you go away. You go unsustainably fast for a short period of time.
There are many times people have to do this in life. You just have to mentally prepare and then go as if every minute is precious and required. Go!
We often go very quickly through our days. We will race about at work to get home, hurry to do chores, admin, cook dinner, perhaps put kids to bed and then do more work, watch a show or doom scroll on the phone.
Well tonight, take time out and just go to bed. Read for 20 minutes, if you must, rather than doom scroll. Or just curl up in bed and dream about what you have and where you’re going in life.
If that makes you smile with joy, great! If not, perhaps just think of your happy place and drift off to sleep. The added extra time sleeping will be magical which you’ll notice when you get up refreshed in the morning. Enjoy!
Have you blocked out your diary with all the must dos this week? I hope so. Give yourself thought-out structure so that you succeed. Don’t let random, third-tier priorities creep in.
Make sure you’re using your time very efficiently. Every minute counts. Don’t fritter them away on nonsense.
This really is the differentiator between success and almost success. If your mind is wandering so too is your cash.
You will not know the answer unless you ask. Ask the questions that come up in your mind. Also ask for what you want. Be clear. Be decisive. Focus on what you really do want and ask people how you could get it. Ask.
Ask and you shall receive. Sometimes it’s that easy.
Lots of people have a to do list. It might encompass large bucket list goals or simply little admin items you need to sort out tomorrow.
Now add another list to your world. The To Be list is one which will help you work on bigger goals and personal goals.
Poossibilities here include, to be kinder, to be a great wife every day, to be a Neuro surgeon or to be on time or early for everything. Try it.
Something as simple as buying a new, somewhat fancy pen, can put a little spring in your step and bring your shoulders back so you walk with a little more confidence.
Buying a new item of clothing or a tool for your job can give you a similar feeling. You don’t need massive expenditure to get these great little jumps in life appreciation. If you make a few small but strategic purchases on high impact items or services, you can feel your life get exponentially better rather quickly.
Just don’t buy loads of things that don’t give a lasting impact. Keep the upgrades small, simple and high impact, otherwise you’re just wasting money.
Why does party sound more fun than discipline or focus? Party and focus are both five letters long. They weigh the same. However, their associations are different and so is the sound they make.
Being a liberal often sounds more fun and enjoyable than being a conservative, but it doesn’t mean it is better. Think about different words as you go through the week ahead and weigh them against each other.
About 10pm, clear your mind, smile and drift off to sleep. So many benefits come from that.
That can be the answer. Get some sleep. Have a lazy few hours. Only do what you want to do. It can really help.
