Let Things Play Out

Posted on May 24, 2024

Relax. A million years have passed without your input or navigation. Perhaps letting things play out would be a good idea. The idea that your very limited experience in all things in the world and ability to coordinate 8 billion lives, or even one more than yours, will be better than all those that went before you, might be a bit of a stretch.

Unless you can predict, second, third and fourth order consequences for your own life with exceptional accuracy, then it is probably time to let things play out for everyone else. Besides, you might find all that relaxing rather enjoyable.

Plan Your Calendar

Posted on May 21, 2024

Aim to get three big things done each day. Build these three things into your calendar. Actually assess the amount of time it will take to do the thing. Then book that amount of time in your calendar, including timed breaks.

Then when that time comes up, do the thing you’re supposed to do, exclusively. Do not multi-task. Do not answer calls or look at notifications. Just get the work done so you never have to do it again.

Close Loops

Posted on May 19, 2024

Each time we start something we are best to finish it or cancel it. We need to close the open loop.

You see, when you start a conversation, a project, a task or even an idea in your head, you open a loop. Your mind will keep coming back to this loop until it is closed in some way – completed, cancelled, accepted.

This revisiting of these open loops can drain you of energy and decision making power. That is not good. It leaves less energy for current important things. So every time you can, Close an open loop. You’ll feel lighter and be more effective.

Tidy Up Your Financial Affairs

Posted on May 13, 2024

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!

Stick To Your Daily Plan

Posted on May 8, 2024

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.

Hope Is Powerful

Posted on April 29, 2024

Hope is forward facing. It faces the future. It gives you an uplifting feeling that things will work out. It’s visualisation, imagination and a mental frequency.

With hope, so much can be achieved. Fear can be conquered and lives can be changed.

It gives you a single point of focus and that is very powerful. Now put action behind the hope and you can propel yourself to untold success and achievement.
