Complete Projects

Posted on March 10, 2024

Starting projects can be quite easy. You’re usually full of enthusiasm and optimism and up for something refreshingly new.

However do make sure you limit the number of projects you start and make sure you’re fully finishing these projects too.

Many people struggle to succeed because they keep adding projects that dilute their time and energy. Then they leave the open loops unfinished and on their mind. Better to start fewer projects and complete more so a higher percentage is completed. 100% would be quite extraordinary!

Stick To Your Convictions

Posted on March 9, 2024

While you stick to your convictions, you should also get quite curious as to why people are challenging them.

Don’t just blindly follow your convictions when others are challenging them with considered arguments. Listen to what they are saying. See if any, some or all of what they say could be right. Then investigate it further to test the ideas even more.

The movie The Big Short is an excellent example of this. The bankers that thought Michael Burry was nuts, should have gotten curious, instead of dismissive and aloof, and gone and done some harsh research. Their lives might have turned out quite differently.

Life From Your Perspective

Posted on March 6, 2024

Your life is your perspective on the world. It doesn’t mean the world is like such and such. It simply means you chose to view the world as that.

If it was like that, then wouldn’t everyone see it that way too? People see it differently not because it is different but their perspective is.

Do what you can to improve someone’s life, sort out a file, tidy something up, straighten out a cupboard, or even help someone.

Every day you should be looking for opportunities to make the world better, without making other people’s world slightly worse.

Organise Yourself

Posted on February 21, 2024

Before you go to bed, plan your day ahead. Do it with your big items for the day and block enough time for travel and challenges. If that all goes well, you can use the extra time to do another thing.

Work Backward

Posted on February 18, 2024

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.
