Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 12/3/12
December 3, 2012—Issue #167
This week’s focus point: Procrastination, “overwhelm,” and distraction are usually signs of fear. The fear is rooted in not being good enough, being critiqued, being insufficient, or even just being in public view. Playwright Tom Stoppard said, “Age is such a high price to pay for maturity.” Change your thinking right now, while you have all this remaining time ahead of you. Schedule just three things to accomplish and complete (not “do”) every day, in your calendar, not on a dusty “to-do list.” Honor them as you would a client appointment, family event, or debt owed a friend. If you do that every day you’ll suddenly have discipline and accomplishment, a renewed self-worth, and you’ll be in charge of your work and your life. What can you lose?
