When You’re Tired, Go To Bed!
Sometimes you have a deadline and need to work through it. But maybe do it for just a few nights. Don’t make emergencies a habit.
Get good rest, stay healthy and alert and also feel much better. Stop scrolling, watching or gaming and get some ?’s. Sleep is essential and lovely. Go to bed!

Plan So You Don’t Use Up Your Luck
Not planning is easier in the moment. You have more fun time, free time, or stress free time. But, sometimes things then happen that you would have foreseen with a plan. So now you hope and pray you get a little unexpected intervention or luck.
That’s one way to live your life. It’s a little more dramatic, exciting and stressful. And if you enjoy stress and uncertainty, maybe that’s the way to go.
However, if calm, relaxed and controlled is what you would like more of, then get planning. It will force you to THINK about the whole picture a bit more. Then you can assess what you will need to OVERCOME and how you might be able to do that.
Then take these thoughts and quickly WRITE them out. Writing brings clarity to your thoughts and allows you to REVIEW your thoughts in note format. Then you can challenge what you wrote and even confirm certain assumptions or guesses.
Now you have the ingredients for a PLAN. Take those written notes from your initials thoughts and challenges to overcome and organise them a little better on a new page. Chronological order is good. Timeframes, cashflows and the effort required will become much clearer.
You will now need less luck and divine intervention. There will be less stress because you have a roadmap. You know where you’ll eat, get petrol and arrive. You can enjoy the journey much more rather than feel anxious throughout.
Then you can use your good luck when you really need it. Not simply because you didn’t want to put the effort into a plan.

Doing More v Doing Differently
You may not have spare time to do more. But you could change what you are currently doing with some of your time.
What would you be willing to stop doing for 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes each day? What would you sacrifice so you could use that time to work towards a goal you would like to achieve?
It doesn’t take long to start learning, doing and succeeding. Your efforts will compound each time and you will see the benefits if you look for them.
What will you give up to become the person you would like to be? You don’t have to do more. Simply do differently.

Reflect On 2021
Reflect on all the good, fun, great things you did in 2021. Also consider if you have achieved as much as you wanted to in the last 365 days. 12 months is a short time and yet it is also quite a substantial amount of time.
And, if you add starting progress in one year to developing progress in a second year plus compounding progress in a third year, you could be unstoppable!
So don’t think it’s just one year. Think of each year building on itself. You’re either getting better or drifting back each year. Be conscious about that.
Build on all your good achievements this past year, big and small. Let’s 10x those in 2022. Let’s get ready so we fly out of the gate! Become unstoppable!

This Odd Week Begins
Having New Year’s Eve on a Friday night this year means there is a whole work week available between Christmas and New Year. For people wanting the whole time off, they need to book off 4.5 days in many cases. For some, this is the busiest week of the year. Party organisers come to mind as do M&A bankers and lawyers trying to complete deals in 2021.
For others it is quite a quiet week in the office. Some people love this time as it is fairly easy to work through. It might give people some extra slack to tidy up files or organise their workflow better. It can be a great week to take stock of things.
One thing to do is to think about and plan your 2022. This year really go for it! Perhaps my book will help you achieve anything you want. If you would like additional support get in touch via DM’s on Instagram, LinkedIn or email me at scott@scottsthinking.com
