Do you ever find yourself bouncing between tasks? Then by the end of the day, you have several things started but very little finished?
It can be a form of procrastination and definitely one of unfocused working. We jump from task to task, not finishing the first before bounding onto the next.
Do you love every book you’ve ever read? My guess is, not.
You may, like me, not even love every book by your favourite author! And that’s okay (no matter how guilty I sometimes feel about that).
It’s important to remember that you don’t love every book, that not every story you read will draw you in, not every main character’s journey will affect you deeply. And the same can be said for your story
Do you consider yourself a perfectionist? Do you constantly strive to do better, be better?
Perfection is as elusive as quicksilver. It is the unicorn people desperately search for, claiming to see glimpses of it. Just need that little more time, more patience and finally, we’ll see it, we’ll reach it.
Have you ever struggled to deal with the Paper Mountain?
Paper is one of life’s curious things. It’s completely inanimate and yet with a propensity to breed until you’re suddenly drowning in the stuff!
Being organised isn’t something you are automatically born with. Sure, some people seem to have a propensity for it but mostly, it’s a learned skill.
That means you can get better at being organised. It involves putting systems in place and the discipline to actually USE them. That second part is where a lot of people fall down.
Last year, I wrote a post that discussed the merits of picking your Top 5 Tasks/Projects to focus on.
We are easily distracted by Shiny Object Syndrome that has us flitting from one thing to another and actually gaining enough focus to truly commit to a project or task can be hard.
The premise of the 5 Focus Tasks is that these are the ones you truly commit to and you DO NOT take on any other tasks until these are completed.
