Quote: "The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot." - Michael Altshuler Do you wish you had more time? Well, you can have more time. When I tell my clients that they are the pilots and they do have the power to change they look at me as if I’m speaking a foreign language. Yes, we can be our worst enemy. We shoot ourselves in the foot on a regular basis. Everybody gets the same amount of hours in the day. That’s not the problem. The problem is what you are doing with them. Time management is a great tool to use as a way to become more efficient at handling tasks. It is not a great thing when you use it to beat yourself up because you can’t get everything done. There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re just overcommitted. You say YES more times than you say No. Stop trying to manage time and Start managing your commitments. When you manage your commitments you are not as likely to get sidetracked by the bright shiny object syndrome. As women we all want to nurture and serve. However, this can be a double edged sword because we try to please others at the expense of our own needs. Set your intentions for the day so that you are clear about where you are going and what you want to get done. Think before you commit. How many times do you say YES to others and five minutes later you wished you would have said NO. In all probability you realized that you weren’t clear about the expectations and you bit off more than you could chew. This leads to guilt, resentment, and being out of integrity with yourself. Stop and check in with yourself first. Leave room for breakdowns. Stuff happens. The problem is we let it ruin our whole day. Handle the breakdown and get back to where you were going in the first place. The object of the game is not to fill up your day and become more of a workaholic. The object of the game is to fill your day with tasks that are in keeping your intentions, your core values, and what matters most to you in your personal and professional life. When you start managing your life out of your commitments, your life is permeated with more peace, passion, purpose, and productivity with less stress and less people pleasing. If you are having trouble with being overwhelmed, overcommitted, and overpowered, get a copy of my People Pleaser No More System. It will take you step by step from overwhelm to creating more productivity, more profit, and more authentic power in your life right NOW. |
