After all the planning and thinking and getting excited about the ‘new venture’ I dashed to my desk and switched on the computer on Tuesday 3rd January but…..
……it was raining heavy outside and felt cold and dull. There were lots of emails from all kinds of business’s and friends, which of course I had to have a look at in case I missed some vital silver magic bullet, then all the distractions set in and guess what, none of my good intentions for following the PLAN got a look in. So many new shiny objects to check out on the internet, all the things that were BRAND NEW SECRETS TO ACHIEVE A FORTUNE AT THE TOUCH OF BUTTON……..
Familiar………………… Yes, it’s all too easy to become distracted and then the minutes, hours and days get gobbled up by the time thief who is lurking in every direction waiting to feed on easy prey – people who get distracted.
And of course we know you are not one of those people are you because you have a desire to change this year, to make a better income and have more quality in your life, to reduce stress and enjoy what you are doing in your business J
So now is a REALLY good time to say NO to distractions of any kind because if you are serious about wanting to achieve success, gain higher income and love your business, then you really have to do things differently.
Plan to check your emails probably twice per day, not first thing in the morning and certainly not when you have a task planned to complete.
Breaking for lunch is a good time to have a very quick glimpse through to see if there is anything relevant that must have your attention otherwise Armageddon will occur. All the others can wait, because one thing is for sure, if someone really needs your attention, they will ring you.
By putting into practice this very simple rule, your life will improve dramatically because it has such a knock on effect for the rest of your day, and when you achieve one thing, you feel energised and want to do more. That is so much better than getting through tons of junk mail and websites with promises of overnight riches and finish up frustrated because you know you wasted so much time and have not achieved anything useful.
All I ask is that you just practice it for one week and notice the difference to your productivity.
Love and Success
