“You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.”
Marcus Aurelius
We’ve all thought it and said it many times. hours, days, and even entire weeks are flying by. It seems like just yesterday that the New Year started and today, the first 3 months of 2021 have officially gone forever into the history books by the time you read this.
Are you just trying to keep up or hold onto time? It’s about as likely as trying to contain water with just your two hands cupped together. You might capture some of it but eventually, the water, just like time, will slip through your fingers. So what CAN you do about this? What SHOULD you do about this? Well, if you are like me, you do an audit of how you have spent your time since the beginning of this month and the beginning of the year. Write down the things you did repeatedly and those tasks that took the most time. Next, check back with your personal goals for the year and life in general. Is your written list of time spent matching with actions that actually move you forward to actually achieve your goals? If not, time to make some necessary changes.
Maybe you are lined up with your goals but you are going the equivalent of first gear speed in a car that has 8 speeds to choose from. It’s probably time to change into higher gear for Q2, Q3, and Q4 this year. Don’t count on momentum to keep moving forward. It’s more likely the friction of things to come and unexpected headwinds just around the corner will slow you down even further. Plan for it. Adjust and keep moving forward in a controlled way at a higher speed to achieve your goals. Keep pushing forward to achieve what MUST be done and what you intended to BECOME by the end of this year.
When this year is over, I want you to say that you know exactly how much time, effort, and attention you spent to achieve the next level of your existence. I want you to say that you had an Awesome Time doing it!
