Hi Everyone
Do you find yourself constantly trying to keep up with events in you work and personal life? Are you always rushing around trying to do 10 things at once? Do you often feel overwhelmed by the number of commitments in your life? Are you forever running round like headless chicken trying to keep all the plates spinning and doing just enough to keep everybody happy and yet a lot of what you do seems less than satisfying? Could it be you're trying to spread yourself too thin and would you be happy to know how to get back in control? Then read on...
...When you have a full and interesting life and you are the type of person who likes to get involved, it's easy to get carried away with the number of commitments you have on any given day. Add to that our current Western culture which encourages us to be on the go 24/7 and you have a recipe to get frazzled if you're not careful.
It's great to have a lot going on and to be stimulated, but sometimes it can just become too much. The danger of this is that we're pulled in so many directions that we never have time for ourselves and we never do anything to the best of our ability. Is this sounding familiar?
Then let me introduce you to a few simple techniques which will help you:
1. Make diary dates for 'you' time. Avoid filling up every waking second of the day and give yourself space. Don't be pressured into encroaching on this time except in exceptional circumstances. You'll find yourself better prepared, more alert and having more fun if you do this. Put yourself first. Then you're in a better position to help others who may need you AND you'll enjoy it more
2. Acknowledge that you're not Superhuman, nor do you need to be. Each day, choose 3 things maximum that you know must be completed and prioritise them. If anything else comes in, ask yourself if you need to change your priorities. If not, schedule the new item for a reasonable time (negotiate if necessary), delegate or pass back anything which you don't personally have to do and continue with what yuo were doing.
3. Avoid distractions. If you find yourself getting sidetracked from one of your 3 key tasks for that day, ask yourself 'Is this what I REALLY need to be doing right now?'. If not, then go back to what you were doing and return to the 'distraction' later if necessary.
It's all about choosing what are the most important things in life. If something is that important, then it deserves your full attention and it should be a priority. If not, it can be delegated, delayed or ditched!
I do hope this information is helpful to you. Let me know what your experiences are with the techniques and also if you have any ideas to share with others receiving this newsletter or if you would like me to offer advice on a specific topic. I'm always delighted to hear from you. So, till the next time, keep calm, be clear & confident.
With love
