Getting things done can sometimes be a challenge. Some items take longer than expected or deliver curve balls that you can’t quite handle easily.
Regardless of the challenges, train yourself to take rapid action. Try to complete tasks in two minutes, or five at the maximum. Then get straight on to the next one.
This sprint style of completing tasks will greatly help you progress through your workload at a pace that will leave most people in awe.
When was the last time you took a look at your goals, their timing and how well your tracking against them?
Some things should be reviewed daily. Other items would be fine on a weekly basis. Much bigger picture items can be reviewed on a monthly basis and even annually. Although make sure all the smaller milestones for these big goals are reviewed more frequently.
Goals are wonderful things to have but you really do need to be kept accountable with them or you’ll miss the outcome, the timing or both.
From booking a holiday, to medical appointments, buying a car and mortgage applications, things take a fair amount of time.
Not only do you need to really want to do the thing, you have to be willing to spend the time to organise and prepare for it!!
Of course you would like to win the lottery. However, with odds north of 45 million to one, it is not very likely.
In some cases it’s mathematical and in other cases it’s karma, the law of attraction or balance in the universe.
The harder you push to get what you’d like rather than what is likely, the more probable you will fail.
Life is marked by moments.
I can remember distinct times in my life based on where I lived, the school I attended, my work place, trips I took and people I spent time with.
So do something memorable to mark occasions. Whether you are having a birthday, graduation, starting a new job, got great exam results or met your future spouse, you should celebrate by doing something memorable.
Enjoy!!
When a problem starts to blossom, nip it in the bud. Try not to let things grow or get out of control.
Like a gardener, tend to the garden. Pull the weeds. Water the plants. Do this all early, before the weeds choke off the good things.
And marvel at the moon.
Get a sunrise in this month too.
Incredible natural phenomenon that are free to watch.
Get out there and live the experience!
That’s life. It is crazy how fast it goes. You don’t notice it when you’re younger. Summer can go on forever.
You don’t really think of being 40 or 50. It’s so far away when you’re 20 or even 30. Then you start into those decades and pop out before you know it.
If you’re lucky, and take care of yourself, you’ll get through 60, 70 and 80, maybe even 90.
It is so wonderful to see the world and all its interesting changes and developments. Hopefully you’ll have family and friends to grow older with too.
We’re so lucky to have had this chance at life. Savour every day. Each one is precious.
Then it’s done.
Thousands of thoughts, lists of things to do, fun things you want to do, all occupy and tire out our mind and brain.
Take some time to do nothing.
Let your brain rest and relax.
Let your mind rest too.
You’ll be glad you did.
