I am learning from coaching others that the everyday things that go unfinished frequently add up to frustrate and create a pattern of dissatisfaction in life.  I thought I would begin some shorter blogs to address some of these common situations…one bite at a time. 

What would cause you to feel great if you accomplished “it” today?  

We set intentions of how we want our day to go and often at the end of the day we realize what we set out to do did not get done.  Has this ever happened to you?  How many times have you had outside distractions pull you away from the very thing that if done would make your day? And one last question, have there been times when you were the one who got in your own way for whatever reason?  

All too often we set out to do something and we don’t do it… 

What are the most frequent reasons we don’t get something done? 

I did it again - two hours on e-mail!

 

  • Not a preferred task
  • Forget
  • Focus
  • Unplanned Meetings
  • Checking e-mails every time one comes in
  • Procrastination
  • Interruption

 What is your “favorite” method of distraction? 

 A way out – One way out of this common dilemma is to take the action on that “thing” you know would make your day at your earliest opportunity.  Try it.  

 What is something else you might try to make sure the task, purchase, paper, project, conversation, sale, phone call, appointment, etc, is done today?  

Thanks for reading and adding your thoughts!  Have a great day…
