Pick your desired goal or destination and work backward to uncover what needs to be done and when.
The timelines will seem tighter but that is fine. There will seem like more work to do than you thought but that’s fine. You’ll need to do more than you thought so just get on with it.
If people offer to help you, let them help. It can make things quicker, better and often more enjoyable.
No need to wait to do it all at once. Just get sorting things and adjust accordingly.
If you miss the bus, just start waiting for the next one. It’s that simple.
Stay focused and keep going. Do not let yourself get distracted. Use your strength of mind to ensure you get to the place you want to be.
Go for a walk or jog and run through the plan you want in your head. Think through the timing and the priorities, including the timeline. Plan out each step in your mind. By doing this preview, you will uncover obstacles you hadn’t thought of and allow enough time for each step.
Then you can execute with pace and precision. See the goal and the path first, then follow it.
We often need more than we think. Play the long game of life. Rest often and for long enough. You can burn the candle at both ends but it rarely ends well in the long run.
That’s right, make sure you are sending emails and texts, etc to the correct recipient. It can be a little awkward if you don’t, and the message is not appropriate for the actual recipient.
Another reason why I love the saying, “A stitch in time saves nine.”
If you are going to spend any energy on outcomes, spend it thinking about, and hoping for, positive outcomes.
Sure, you can acknowledge that things may not go perfectly well and there may be a few bumps in the road, but certainly don’t dwell on it. A swift acknowledgment that it could happen is enough.
Then put all of your energy and time into thinking about the different ways the amazing outcome is going to improve your life and the lives of others.
Focus on that!
Even if it takes 5 years to get there, start getting all your things in order. Toss out all of your unnecessary items. If you don’t absolutely love it, or it doesn’t bring you great joy, send it on its way.
It’s unlikely to be easy or quick! but it’s possible to do with just a day at a time. Start today and good luck!!
