If you focused and were excellent with your time, could you be more productive? Could you get more done in a day?
It’s amazing what you can achieve when you don’t get distracted, procrastinate or do only the fun things.
If you seriously want to change your life, put the work in. Stop talking about it. Get it done.
Competition is innate in the human species. We compete for resources, mates, abundance and pride.
In the modern world we compete in sports and less so, military conflicts. We compete for mates still and jobs.
Winning feels good.
Companies compete. Or at least the stakeholders/employees compete.
Philosophy is becoming more competitive too. Some people want to win you over to their side. They are not happy hearing the diversity of thought. They simply want you to agree with, and adopt, their point of view.
Unlike the sportsmanship seen at sporting events, where they shake hands at the end, there seems to be less of that with opposing points of view in the modern world.
We can remain competitive and try to influence people’s point of view but we might want to be more sportsmanlike, regardless of win, lose or draw.
I love a nap now and then. 5 minutes or 15. Sometimes 2 hours. They can be awesome. Rejuvenating. Energising.
Having a nap to recharge your batteries can be a great idea. Amazing how well they work.
Sitting in a chair, lying down on a sofa or even on a floor, sometimes you’re so in need, anywhere will do!
You probably deserve one.
One conversation with a person who thinks differently in some way to you, can change your whole life.
One idea can spark a whole new direction. Get around people who can challenge your thoughts and open your mind.
No matter how tough life gets, take another step forward each day. Make that your number one habit.
Often we know about events, occasions and opportunities well in advance. You know, like Christmas, birthdays, annual reviews, monthly investing, etc.
So let’s not leave these things to the last minute. Get your documents ready, prepare your mind, get cards and gifts sent off early. This is a great way to reduce stress. Surf the tsunami of stuff in your life. But also reduce the amount you are committing to. You are not super human or expected to be.
But when you know something happens every year at the same time, be prepared, well in advance. Then you can have that calm, smug feeling of being ahead of the game.
Do this one thing and see how it goes.
Touch paper once if you can. Deal with things the week they arrive. Don’t let things pile up. But if you do, bite the bullet and set aside time that month to get back on top of things.
File things properly. Do it fast. Then it’s easy to find later. And it’s off the floor, desk, counter, table, etc.
Have a good filing system. Have any to start. Then improve it.
Get on top of your admin. You can thank me later.
This is a great way to decide whether you do things in life. If you are not delighted and shout out ’Heck yes’ at the mere mention of something, then it may not be worth your piece of life to do it.
In that case, make it a hard no.
Of course sometimes you’ll be required to do things that don’t excite you and bring joy. But when you have the choice and the decision is yours, live your life in the ‘Heck yes!’ zone.
Imagine that life! Heck Yes!!!
