⚪️ LESS IS MORE ⚫️
For the last few weeks, I started doing 3 big tasks a week that I know will move the needle forward in my business.
.
I’ve also been doing only one big task a day, unless its a day filled with sessions, calls etc.
.
It’s been going really well and I’m making progress while enjoying what I’m doing 🎉
.
The other day, my Ego thought, “Well, you’ve been really good at this for few weeks now, let’s put it up to four and try to do two big tasks in a day.”
.
A really bad idea I didn’t see coming 😂
.
Literally, half an hour into the day, I’ve gone into overwhelm. I was focusing on completing, worried about the next thing I need to do and not really enjoying what I was doing. I felt tired, lethargic, drained and useless.
.
It totally took the joy out of it.
.
Then I started worrying about the fact that I’m in overhelm and haven’t gone there this deep in a while, thinking “Oh shit, I’ve gone back to old ways, I thought I was over this.”
.
And now I feel trapped in that cycle 😄
.
Then I took a deep breath in, imagined taking a step back looking at it from bird’s eye view and said, “Ok clearly this is not working and we went into overwhelm here. Let that go. What do I need to change now?”
.
I noticed the fourth task wasn’t an urgent thing and I totally missed the first step in it which made the whole thing go wobbly.
.
Another pattern I have in my Ego is rushing ahead to save time. This actually makes me loose time in the long run, because I have to go back and do the thing I missed in the first place. So the very thing I rush ahead for end up doing the opposite - losing time.
.
If you’re taking action from a place of avoiding something, you’ll create that exact thing you’re avoiding 🤗
.
I also saw that it was a matter of structure and all I had to go back to what was working.
.
So I took that task out, wrote the new list with 3 tasks and instantly felt lighter. I stuck to one big task that day and started over again without attaching any stories around it.
.
It worked beautifully and I ended up doing so much more.
.🙏🏼 Less is always more 🙏🏼
.
When you try to do everything, you end up doing nothing. When you do one thing, you end up doing way more than that.
.
Also what you might feel is urgent, is often not urgent and might be keeing you distracted from doing what really matters.
.
It can be very simple, no need to complicate things.
.
.
Slow down, keep your focus on the big picture and work your way up there one step at a time. Keep it simple and fun 😍
.
Love you 💛
