If you miss the bus, just start waiting for the next one. It’s that simple.

The Right Thing Can Fill You With Doubt
The right thing is often hard and can be unpopular too. You need a bigger vision, stronger purpose, more discipline and less concern for negative feedback and criticism.
Fully understand why something is the right thing by going three levels deep and knowing the 3rd level effects. Do not let your wish/should/hope mindset knock you off course.
Remember, the right thing can fill you with doubt. However, you do not need to listen to those naysaying voices. Do not be swayed by the popular and easy. Drive forward on the right track.

Unfinished Projects
Remove all unfinished projects from your life. They wear you down. If you really wanted to do them, you would have.
These were maybe good ideas at one time or a should, out of social belief or guilt, but now you can choose to end the insanity.
Free up space and time in your life. Remove these distractions. Only work on things you are absolutely committed to completing, out of love, duty, passion or necessity. All the rest must be left for someone else in the world to do.
Don’t dilute your energy for meh.

Think, Plan, Execute
Go for a walk or jog and run through the plan you want in your head. Think through the timing and the priorities, including the timeline. Plan out each step in your mind. By doing this preview, you will uncover obstacles you hadn’t thought of and allow enough time for each step.
Then you can execute with pace and precision. See the goal and the path first, then follow it.

Get Some Rest
We often need more than we think. Play the long game of life. Rest often and for long enough. You can burn the candle at both ends but it rarely ends well in the long run.

Double Check Before You Press Send
That’s right, make sure you are sending emails and texts, etc to the correct recipient. It can be a little awkward if you don’t, and the message is not appropriate for the actual recipient.
Another reason why I love the saying, “A stitch in time saves nine.”

Focus On Great Outcomes
If you are going to spend any energy on outcomes, spend it thinking about, and hoping for, positive outcomes.
Sure, you can acknowledge that things may not go perfectly well and there may be a few bumps in the road, but certainly don’t dwell on it. A swift acknowledgment that it could happen is enough.
Then put all of your energy and time into thinking about the different ways the amazing outcome is going to improve your life and the lives of others.
Focus on that!

Bring Order To Your Life
Even if it takes 5 years to get there, start getting all your things in order. Toss out all of your unnecessary items. If you don’t absolutely love it, or it doesn’t bring you great joy, send it on its way.
It’s unlikely to be easy or quick! but it’s possible to do with just a day at a time. Start today and good luck!!

Pick One System
Pick one system and use it well. There is no perfect system so stop searching. Just use the one system and accept there will be some drawbacks. However, other systems have drawbacks too.
You could change your system one day, but remember, with each change you may lose good habits for only slightly greater efficiency, if at all.
