"I know what I need to do; I Just Need More Discipline"

Right?

NO.

Raise your hand if you love discipline (crickets).

Nobody likes discipline. OK maybe control-hungry, authoritarian micromanagers. Otherwise, what do we want? We want to feel like we matter. Our opinions matter. Our work matters. We are valued.

So do stuff that matters. How is it that, even then, it's not so easy? Great question.

The Time Dilemma- here's what's really happnin': THE FARSE REVEALED

We often think we can achieve more in one day than is realistic (I see you hiding), and by contrast, we CAN achieve more in one week than we realize.

Oooooohhh....(nodding of head).....Wait, what?

Knowing this reality.... you can plan and manage yourself (aka your "time") around it.

The obvious, yet not done: Understanding how long things are going to take

Do you know roughly how long the tasks on your to-do list are going to take? No, nobody really does. I hate to-do lists but that's another rant for another day.

So here is what you do, right? "I will do these 10 things before my 10 am appointment." And then you start. You open your computer. You find there are messages. You of course, answer them. If you are really lucky, you realize that 20 to 30 minutes have just passed and you now only have 30 min left before your call. But most likely, that 10am app't comes around and you may not have even peeked at the list.

Right?

So first, you have to find a way to not look at the messages. I know. How can this happen? How? Hmmmmm, how? Maybe shut off your wireless? Maybe shut down your email tab? Maybe draft something in a word doc first? You are going to have to come up with your own ideas here AND you know what your cryptonite is, so.....your choice, superman...

Next, never leave LIFE without a timer. How did we ever survive without timers? Right now as I write this I set my timer for 20 min so I could stay on task and finish this edit. Really? Yes, really. My life is seriously dictated by timers and it's the only way I could get anything accomplished or show up to my apt's on time.

We’ve looked at using a timer before in order to create focus and regular rests, but you can use a timer to measure how long those repetitive regular tasks take as well.

I have finally done it!

I made a Facebook group for Wisdom Warriors so you can connect outside of the monthly free group.

We know that connection is key. Yet we are living with our family 24/7 and yes there is Netflix and Facebook but really? I want to go meet people in real life!

Are you saying that? 

I hear you. And right now, what I can do is offer community on Facebook, hey it's what there is! And peace is found in accepting and amplifying what IS. And people, Facebook is actually real. At least my group is...!

>>join here<<<

The truth is, I have not left my house much since 2017 so this whole "being at home thing" is awesome for me; welcome to my life! AND you know what? I get so much MORE DONE WITHOUT DRIVING AROUND ALL THE TIME! Now there is Smart Time Management! Hours and hours and days and weeks saved....which means...more profits....and better time with those I hold dear....
