Category: Reframe your thoughts
Practice Detail
Big picture and generalisations have their purpose and place. However, you need to focus on the nitty gritty, nuts and bolts and detailed bits in order to finish a job well.
Make a list of all the steps you can possibly think of to finish a project from this point. Then crack on and get these steps completed.

Write It Down!!
You are smart, clever, sensible and capable. But why leave this to chance? Write things down. It takes a minute but you’ll be far better served by a note than your memory.
You think you’ll remember because it’s clear in the moment. However, a few days from now, with fifty other things going on, and you’re likely to forget or confuse the details with other things.
Don’t chance it. Write things down and review those things daily.

Enjoy When You Can
It will all end one day, so be sure to set aside some time each day to enjoy! Don’t put it off.

Pain Is Temporary
Remember this always. Pain is temporary. History is forever. DNA is forever. Life is going to have its ups and downs. Don’t get locked in on the downs. These too shall pass.
Hold on to great memories. Let painful ones go. You don’t need to drag those around with you. They will weigh you down and you will be less light, attractive and free.
Focus on great memories. You’ll smile more.
Let the pain drift away. You do not need to cherish it and bathe in it like a masochist. Set your soul free.

Don’t Allow Yourself To Be Distracted
It’s your choice. Be distracted and your dreams drift further away. Or stay focused and have a better chance at a better life: the life you say you want.
Set your phone alarm for 7 minutes and press repeat each time it goes off. Then if you’re distracted it reminds you to stay focused. You can even put ‘STAY FOCUSED’ as the alarm name!

Results Without Sacrifice?
Rarely would this happen.
If you want to be great at a sport, you will need to sacrifice dating time, drinking time, drifting time and put a lot of training in. Same with education, work, relationships, etc.
You’ll need to sacrifice time, comfort and ease for involvement, hard days and tough work.
It will be worth it in the end. But you have to believe it and live it now.

Focus On The Outcome You Crave
Learn from the past but don’t focus on it. Focus on the future and take action today toward the outcome you crave.
Do not spend time, your life, on meh things. Go after your heart’s desire, your mind’s most exciting adventures and your soul’s true love.
Time is fleeting so only focus on the outcome you crave.

Keep Tidy: Go Faster
If you know where things are, you’ll find them quicker. When your files are in order, you can capitalise on opportunities more quickly and more often.
People think it takes too much time to get organised and stay tidy. Yes, it takes a bit more time but you save on all the faffing about when you can’t find things.
Make tidying things away properly part of completing the task. You’re not done when you throw it on the desk. You’re done when it’s been filed correctly and the next steps and meetings and invoicing are all in your calendar for follow up.
