Get Up and Get Going

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably swamped with numerous things to do, all pulling you in different directions and all demanding your immediate attention.

Thing is, we so often get caught up in doing the small things, or the more enjoyable things, that before we know it, time has passed us by and that big task that you say you’ll keep getting to tomorrow, still isn’t done!

2008 is drawing to an end so now’s the time to stop … take a deep breath … and jump right in! If you’re finding everything a little too overwhelming then make sure you take some time out each day (even if its only for 30mins) to just relax and recharge your mind.

If its that you really can’t get motivated to do it, then change the environment you’re doing it in, alter the process or bring someone else on board to keep you company. Your time is valuable – make sure you like how you spend it.

If your task is still too daunting, then look at it in a new way…

We’ve all heard many times before that we need to concentrate on our weaknesses in order to become successful. But sometimes fearing our weaknesses is what is holding us back. So how about reversing that theory – and focus on your strengths instead. You’ll love doing what you’re good at and the more you get to do it the better you’ll become (think ‘expert’ status!).

And so what of those weaknesses (aka the boring/hard bits) – well get someone else to do them… On one condition though – make sure that someone considers your weakness their strength!
