It’s easy so easy for us to keep taking on things to do and commit to new opportunities, but we must remember that we only have twenty-four hours in the day, which means .that something’s got to give!
Are all of the things that you are trying to do worth your time?
Though it is good to have a to do list, we should also have a not to do list which will help us to stay focussed, avoid distractions and stop wasting valuable time.
My experience of taking too much on
I am naturally a person who loves helping others, but sometimes I find that I have taken on so much, that I become overwhelmed, or I have so many things clashing that I sometimes I have to disappoint people or I find I don’t have time to do the things that are my priority. Deep down I really find it hard to say no and feel guilty when I say no. Over the last few weeks, I have been working on this, and know that it is ok to say no and not feel guilty.
Now I want you to sit down and spend a few minutes to think about some of the stuff you do,and see if they really help you as you strive to achieve your goal or whether they are a distraction. Now write down your own not to do list, put it somewhere you can see it and remember not to do those things no matter how tempted you areto do them.
