Because we can do those tasks, we set our mind to accomplish, we sometimes think we can do everything we want. In reality, we cannot do everything all the time. We are limited by our own lack of endurance, need for rest, lack of financing, and the overwhelming offerings that our universe puts in front of us to enjoy.
Once we realize we can only do so much, we need to make decisions. The critical first step is to know what is most important to us. Those are the things that we work for first. And those are also the things we will work on the most.
We do not abandon everything else we wish to do, we plan them out as a set of objectives. There are many ways to do this. Some people will set up a quarterly schedule where they Tackle a new project over a 13-week timeline. Some will use monthly planning, and for other projects, an annual forecast will be used. Sometimes a project is so big, a 5 or 10-year plan is needed.
There is a problem that can creep up on us. We can forget what we wanted to do. That is why having a journal is so important. When you get good ideas, write them down in a journal and that way you can have a place to go and look at when you are thinking of what projects you want to plan next.
Is all this easier? Well, it is easier than a lot of people think. And, the time spent writing things down up-front is only a fraction of what it would take to retrace your steps and find out what you were thinking six or eight months ago.
I know that everybody has their own nuances to scheduling and completing tasks. I am just offering a suggestion to help you in doing that little extra through a bit of organization. Try a little, and see if it might work for you.
Thank you for being with me today. I hope to be with you again tomorrow.
