Have you got anything outstanding? Is there an invoice you should have sent? Or perhaps some taxes that are due to be filed? Maybe you have an insurance claim or credit cards to attend to.
Whatever it is, it will take longer than you think to do and won’t get done until you sit there for several hours and sort it out. Don’t let it keep drifting along. Complete the work today!
Something we all could do a little more is appreciate people. Not just a passing thanks but a stop-and-feel-the-moment kind of appreciation.
Whether it’s a birthday, a win, closing a deal at work or an anniversary with your spouse, make sure you really celebrate for it.
Time flies. Life is short. Moments go by so fast. When you have the opportunity to show your appreciation, make sure you do. It can mean the world to someone and it is so easy to do. Make it a habit of a lifetime.
Keep your targets in your sites. Stay focused. Be relentless. Every minute counts.
Write out your timed plan for the day ahead. Allow 30 min in the morning and 30 min in the afternoon to accommodate overruns and unexpected calls and diversions.
Otherwise, stick to your daily plan. You may have to say no a lot and work quicker, but don’t let things slide.
A great way to start your day is to go to the gym. Improve your strength, cardio, flexibility and your mindset. Is also great to be striving with all the other people there too.
Walking is such a great exercise. It’s also a great way to have a chat while moving. Great for your health, great for your relationships or even doing business.
Do you want the world to be a better place or do you simply want it to be run the way you currently feel it should be? These can be wildly different.
Wanting the world to continue to get better is next level politics. Unfortunately, most people would rather trash every opposing or slightly different (could we say diverse) viewpoint, just so they could lead and be in charge.
Most people (maybe 80%) would probably agree with great policies, if they didn’t know which side had suggested them. Unfortunately, our tribal instincts and cultures have us preferring the tribe over the policy.
This happens in global and country politics but also in garden variety conversations with neighbours, family and friends.
Find common ground and notice the nuance. Give and take a little. The world could be a much better place if we noticed that the vast majority of people, deep down, want very similar things.
It doesn’t need to be expensive. There are many fun things you can do such as crazy golf, a park walk, coffee together, or even a movie while cuddled up on the sofa together.
Just have something once per week to look forward to.
