The “Never Enough” Attitude.
acknowledging the goodness in your life.
“First things when I wake up, I write down three things I have to be grateful for, three things that would make that day great, and one daily affirmation. Right before I go to sleep. I write down three amazing things that happened that day and answer the question: 'How could I have made today better?’ The daily practice of writing down what I have to be grateful for, and reflecting upon who I want to become, helps me rewire my brain and improve my happiness.”
Reprioritize opportunities which don’t fit with your goals.
“After smartGuriz aired on, my inbox because inundated with all kinds of opportunities. I have written my two major goals for the company on a past-it note that is stuck to my monitor. If a request comes in that does not support those, I force myself to down-prioritise them or even say 'no.”keep your focus and move on to more productive tasks. Learn from the experience that you cannot do it all. Once the butter is spread too thin, it is difficult to go back.”
Adapt to what the present holds.
“Here’s a quote that I repeat often to myself from: “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity. “It keeps me focused, knowing that even in moments when it all looks and feels like chaos, I am moving forward, I am looking for solutions, that may open new doors with endless possibilities. If reminds me to be flexible and adapt to what the present holds.”
Pick three things to do each day
“Running a business can be quite overwhelming, with the work truly never ending. When you have a lot to do, my philosophy is to just pick 3 things to do each day. Do those three things first in the morning, and then wherever the rest of your day takes you, you know at least you’re progressing and have accomplished what you needed to.”
Star the day with a small, meaningful win.
“Start almost every day by taking to one of our customers. On Sunday night I spend about 30 minutes lining up informal calls for the week, and use my 20 minutes drive to work to have those conversations. Jumping on the phone and hearing first hand what’s working for them, their frustrations, and just how hard they’re hustling gives me motivation to help them be a successful as possible. I try to carry their passion through the rest of my day. When the day starts with a small win, the momentum continues.”
Use Sunday to plan out your week
“Between today’s hyperactive communication hardscape and the nonstop news cycle, it can be hand to stay focused, which is why I plan my week out before it starts. Every Sunday I spend time on Evernote walking through a regimented process of what I want to accomplish in the coming weeks, making sure it aligns with monthly, quarterly, and annual goals. Sure, fire drills come up and to-do lists change, but this approach to planning keeps me focused across different functions so that I can be as strategic as possible in my day-to-day.”
Protect your Sunday nights
“I have a post-it up in my kitchen that says, 'Sunday is not a workday, so back off anticipatory brain!’ I have to consciously force myself to protect the empty space and recovery time. Having a small visual reminder gives my subconscious permission to wait until Monday morning to start working again. This is about recovery and time with family but it’s also about creating blank space in your head so new ideas can pop up.”
Make a list of goals for improvement
“ I keep a running list of goals for improvement in the back of my daily notebook. It makes me more conscious of where I can do better. Before major meetings and present ions, I run through the list to make sure I’v internalized relevant points, and afterwards I’ll run through any feedback with my co-founder or, if available, watch a recording of the presentation to add new goals to the list.”
That’s my little research from the philosopher about acknowledging the goodness in your life
