Coaching Corner: Are you busy yet? (Part 2)
By Marilou Butcher Roth
So, now that you have your list identifying what you absolutely need to accomplish both in your personal life and in your business life, we will find a for each one. Keep in mind you may have items on the list that you are currently not doing ” perhaps exercise, or a consistent system for finding new business.
What we are after here is to create some consistency in your lives that will support you most easily. So...look at your week and place the items on your list into the place during the week that would make the most sense. In my experience, Mondays are typically filled with catch up activities. If that is true for you as well, do not put much in that day ” you get the idea.
Some of you work better with definite times and some of you would do better with just placing the task on a certain day. Either way is fine ” part of the process is to find what works most easily for you! These items are tasks that you want to do EACH week, so for this part, do not include the intermittent appointments.
If you find that any specific task is not being accomplished, first look to see if you have placed it in the best spot ” is this the best day/time to do this. If that checks out OK, then look at the task and ask yourself if this is something you really want to be doing ” is it a true absolute, or just a should. If it is still a for you, then you have a great opportunity to explore your resistance. For example, you want to incorporate exercise into your regular schedule and you just don't seem to find the time to accomplish this. Ask yourself why you want to exercise ” if you do exercise, what are the benefits for you? What type of exercise do you most enjoy? Are you finding ways to have fun, or does it feel like a huge effort?
We sometimes go foggy when we get too busy and just put one foot in front of the other, finding little joy in our day. My invitation to you is to look a little deeper into how you can create more joy, more fun, more prosperity in your life!
Are you ready?
