If you commit and quit, your self esteem will drop. You can’t trust perself or count on yourself. Be realistic. Only commit to those things and timeframes you are actually going to do. Don’t let yourself and other people down.

Do First Things First
When you need to finish something, get it done first. Do not delay. Do not do other easier things first. Take a deep breath, open the tougher, longer, most important item and get that done. You’ll feel better after (maybe not initially) and you can then speed through the other items.

Do What You Say
Or don’t say it.
Become a person who surprises rather than disappoints. Give people reasons to trust you will do what you say, when you said you’re going to do it.
Under-promise and over-deliver. Stop doing this the other way around.

Could You Do Better?
You probably could do a few things better than you’re doing them now. Do you want to put the extra effort in though? This is the challenge.
Most of us have the ability and runway and even desire to do more or be better. However, we also can feel lazy, uninspired or wonder what the point is and whether it is worth it at all.
Well it is worth it. Focus on building your discipline every day. It will carry you through the tough times, the doubtful moments and the significant challenges like loss of motivation, purpose or faith.
You can do better. Build up to it. You’ll be so glad you did. And may regret it if you don’t.

Do That Little Extra Together
It can be easier to focus on someone else or even just yourself. But it pays to focus on togetherness. Do a little something extra together. It’sa nice way to create fond memories, warm feelings and a closer bond.

If You Do The Same, You Get The Same
Think of the next 12 months ahead. How closely will it resemble the last 12 months? Will you eat similar foods, sleep at similar times, work about the same hours on very similar type things? I will guess that you’ll also celebrate the same birthdays, holidays and special moments.
If everything you do is the same, how can you expect life to be or feel differently? You really need to make some small changes or shifts in what you do. Then increase the frequency and/or intensity of these changes so you begin to get demonstrably different results.

Could You Do More In Your Day?
I bet you could. Stop scrolling, watching tv or chatting about whatever. Pick a topic, learn about it and then start to create a business with it. You’re not creating IBM overnight. But you will build a small company, learn a lot and maybe even build a bigger company eventually.
Do more of the things that get you closer to your goals and do less faffing around. You will love your progress.

Decide And Do
Decide that this is a “Heck Yes!” item and then set about doing it. Do that as much as you can in one day. Don’t wait until you feel like it. And don’t wait for someone else to come do it for you or help.
Focus on it. Get it started. Work hard at it. Learn. Do. Be uncomfortable and get through it. Finish the job. Sure you can have someone look over it at the end. But sort it out and get to the end on your own first. It can feel daunting or hard but you’ll feel so much better about yourself once you’ve done it.

How Much More Could You Be Doing?
If you focused and were excellent with your time, could you be more productive? Could you get more done in a day?
It’s amazing what you can achieve when you don’t get distracted, procrastinate or do only the fun things.
If you seriously want to change your life, put the work in. Stop talking about it. Get it done.

Get Organised
Have you ever been unprepared for an event? Some events happen every year. At the same time! Get organised and get your systems in place.
There have been occasions when I am not as prepared for a day as I feel I should be or could be. Let’s say it is a calendar event like a birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, taxes, school terms, etc.
We all know that these things are coming. In fact, we know as soon as one finishes that we have 10 months to prepare for the next one. Which gives us two months to execute exceptionally well. In theory.
And if you really think about it, you have years to prepare for all the annual events. Given they always happen on the same day, it is pretty predictable when Christmas Day will be 37 years from now. And taxes that year will likely be due on the same day that year as it is this year.
There really should be no surprises. I’m telling you this as much as I am reminding myself. And the preparation for each event is usually going to be the same. Allow time to get the tax documents together and go through them with your accountant. Do them now at the beginning of the period rather than scrambling at the end. It will even take less time to do it now.
Get organised.
