I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME

My Ego often tells me, “I don’t have enough time.” 

.

When I’m really honest with myself, I realise I DO have time but my Ego distracts me and spends time on things which don’t matter.
.
It looks at my schedule and goes, “Well, those two hours won’t be enough time to do it.”
.
So I don’t do it all together 😄
.
Then I acknowledge how my Ego just doesn’t want me to do it and tries to rationalise my way out of it. I take a deep breath and ask, “What can I do right now that will serve me?”
.
It’s often the accumulation of the little steps that make the difference.
.
On a practical level, learning about those two laws were a gamechanger for me 🙏🏼

80% of your results will come from 20% of our actions. Often we come up with things to do to avoid the important. When actually, most of our true end results come from the 20% of our actions.

The task will take up as much time as we give it. This is the magic of productivity right before a deadline because there is limited time left. If you give one hour to a task, you’ll complete in one hour. If you give it three days, you’ll complete in three days.

You can also ask,
.✨ AM I BEING PRODUCTIVE OR AM I KEEPING MYSELF BUSY?
.
Answering emails is my number one way of keeping myself busy to avoid doing the important 😄 My Ego loves it as it creates the illusion of I’m on it. It’s a necessary part of the business, but it doesn’t move the needle forward in the big picture.
.
.
So identify the most important tasks, give them short, clear deadlines and check in with yourself to stick to the important stuff that make the difference.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this 🙏🏼

Love you 😍
