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.
Whether it’s because of a person you met, event you could last minute attend or any other positive chance encounter, soak it up and enjoy!
It’s not heroic to stay up late, push through the night, and go without sleep. Occasionally, it needs to be done to meet a clear objective in a given timeline. But it should be the rare exception, not the rule.
With good planning and a clear and consistent sleep routine, 95% of your days should involve a good nights sleep.
If you do get caught in a difficult situation with a very long night, rest when you can. Take a 20 minute Power Nap. Catch 40 winks. Nod off for a minute.
A brief rest can do wonders for your mind, body and soul. Then you can get through those tricky overnight situations.
Do not let issues grow into bigger problems. The issue itself may not get worse, but your constant reminder of it and replaying it will make it seem far worse that it originally was.
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.
In all discussions, find common ground. You have way more of it than you think.
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.
