What I Learned About Time and Achieving Your Goals
Aug 19, 2024
Can I be totally honest with you for a minute? Not long ago, I was feeling overwhelmed by big tasks and tight deadlines, just like many of you. Recognising how fast time travels, what I have achieved so far this year, my big goals for this year, and the hard truth that we were already 4 months into 2024, I knew I had to take action. I committed to exploring my efficiency curves to maximise my output and create more time for the things that's equally important to me.
Here’s an extract of what I've discovered:
1. Procrastination Sneaks Up: I set a goal to nail three wins each day, but boy, did I drag my feet on tasks I wasn't keen on, like accounting. I’d end up pushing these to the next day... and the next. That’s hardly the hallmark of winning, right?
2. Distractions Are Tempting: Even with clear goals, I found myself sidetracked by an interesting podcast or an exciting new idea for you, which often led to burning the midnight oil to catch up on my planned tasks.
3. The Half-Done Hustle: There were days when I didn’t manage to check off all my wins, leaving me feeling drained, disappointed, and wasting time.
But here’s the good news: it all comes down to discipline, having a super clear purpose, deciding to change and taking action. Without a clear direction, you will wander, and that wandering leaves you feeling busy, stuck and pretty lost.

A Quick Story
Just recently, an executive reached out to me, frustrated with her own struggles in staying on track. It was a real reminder that we all face these bumps along the road.
6 Months from Now is January 15, 2025
What tasks are you pushing off until tomorrow? What do you want to achieve in the next 6 months? Remember, nothing happens by accident. No one is coming to do it for you. Your success will come from deliberate, inspired actions. You're just one decision away from a better life.
Hit reply and tell me what you want to make happen in the next 6 months. And if you want help, I'd love to be your coach.

That's all for me. Have a great week.
