Plan your day the night before. Block time in your diary for all the essential things you must do tomorrow. From wake up, to shower and dress, eat three times, and two must-do essential things, block the times when you’ll be doing these things. Be realistic with the timing too.
Get better at selecting one or two essential items to prioritise and get better at estimating the time and other resources required for success.
Then you’ll be on the road to winning!
Wherever you are, greet people well.
Think about it. What really excites you? What would you do even if you didn’t need the money? Figure this out, without too much thought. Then pursue this activity with all your time and energy.
Time is the driver of the conveyor belt of life. It keeps ticking along whether you grind all day or stop to smell the roses.
The belt keeps moving you forward. You can jump or run but it keeps you moving steadily at 1 tick at a time.
Use the time wisely.
You can try to rush things but that can cause tension in the universe and you may find faster is slower.
Be patient. Organise your time and leave plenty for the challenges that other people, machinery, technology or nature may throw at you.
If your mind is calm and the route is well planned, with ample contingency time, the challenges will be weathered without a storm.
Make patient and persistent progress and you will win.
Whether with your parents, spouse, kids, friends or whoever, enjoy your time together. Life is moving fast. Enjoy those moments before they disappear.
Whether it’s drinks on the deck or working through admin and papers, be sure to relish these moments as they won’t last long and may never come again.
Things always seem dark and endless. Especially when you’re at your weakest point. Remain calm. You’ll get through this.
Take the time to listen to what people are saying. Really engage your ears and hear what they are saying and why they are saying it. Engage with questions, comments and inflections.
Find out more than just the headlines. See behind those ideas and stories and learn the lesson being offered, whether inadvertently or with intent from the storyteller.
Enjoy the conversation you’re having. A great conversation can be fondly remembered for days or even years.
Inner strength and physical strength can both be augmented via mental strength. Build your mental strength to improve the others. Build your resilience and recharge process.
Sometimes a very deep breath, straightening your back, lifting your chin and feeling determined are enough to make an incredible and immediate shift in your mindset and perceived ability to succeed despite the challenges ahead.
