Start Like You Mean It

Say you just got a new job. Toil immediately on how you’ll make this new role an absolute, unmitigated success. Prepare today like you’re starting tomorrow, even if you’re not officially starting for another 73 days.

Even better, begin your transition prep while you’re still interviewing. There’s nothing like preparing when you already feel you’ve got the job.

Success meets the well prepared mind.

Starting Is Hard Or Easy?

Starting a project is easy. Finishing is hard. Starting to revise schoolwork for an exam is hard but building momentum is easier.

Hard now can make it easier later. Easier now could mean hard later.

Whether it is easy or hard to start, start anyway. Start now.

Start Decent

It’s a new year with new goals and lots of enthusiasm to get going strong to start the year. But maybe strong is too ambitious. Perhaps starting decent is the better angle.

If you start as you mean to go on, will you be able to keep up the strong intensity with consistent effort by week 7, 14 and 26? Or are you setting yourself up to fail?

Finish What You Start

If you don’t want to see it through to the end, don’t bother starting it. Think this through at the start of a project or situation rather then feel compelled to finish something you have no interest in.

Start Simplifying

Remove things from your life. Narrow your focus down to a few things that are very important to you.

Remove items you don’t need or that aren’t bringing you benefit or joy. This might mean cancelling a newspaper subscription or tv package. It could also mean stopping an activity that is a habit but no longer as enjoyable.

Simplify your wardrobe, your files, your bookshelf, your schedule, your social media/communications and your thinking.

Keep removing items until you feel calm and more able to enjoy the things that really matter.

Start

Whatever you like, start doing it now. You’ll be uncomfortable and you’ll make mistakes, but you’ll be on your way.

Starting is hard. You show your hand to everyone. Don’t worry though. People tend not to notice too much and certainly not the detail. If they love you and see your challenges, they will support you. If they don’t like you, then don’t let it bother you either.

Start. There is no time to waste.
