Sometimes….we have so much boatloads of work, we could double as the Navy's shipbuilding yards during times of war.
You know what I mean, right?
You wake up, check your feedburner, see the 384 new exciting niche posts, check out your product creation status, notice that you're 2 projects behind, realize you have to write your Tell Yourself Today post and ……
Yep, confess! I can see you nodding there. 🙂
The thing is, immense amounts of work are okay…if….and ONLY IF…. you have the discipline to stay the course, section out your day and make it optimal for you.
For example, yesterday I got up at 1:30am because I'm mentally 3 sandwiches short of a gourmet picnic and enjoy bashing my head against a brick wall because it feels so darned nifty when you stop I was seized by a rather unique idea. 20+ hours later, I was ready to go to bed again…and got up this morning at 3am.
And then it hit me.
I'm being insane.
Not because of the work-level, no.
It was because I didn't have the discipline to write out what I planned on achieving…and my original ideas flew out the windows as I bravely forged my way into new vistas.
Thus, tell yourself today this very instant what you plan on accomplishing.
Write it down.
Post it to your Facebook page as a commitment.
And then when your sanity threatens to unravel with the greatest of ease….take a deep breath, look at your tasks, regroup and re-engage.
Your mental well-being will thank you for it.
Grow strong,
Barbara Ling
