what is stopping me?
Think outcomes..
It is very good that we put in a lot of effort to work on a task. What’s more important is that the task generates clear outcomes!
Outcomes, outcomes, outcomes -> the new mantra!
:)
Failing is ok..
being stuck at the place of failure is not..
Don’t bring problems to a table..
the best way to do it(in case we need help) is to provide status updates..
Be Proactive..
in helping others. The feeling that we are too busy to be involved in what others are working in/helping them with whatever is on their mind is a clear sign of trouble..
Never drop balls in hand..
when trying to juggle an extra one..
Yes, yes, a version of Aesop’s famous bird in hand quote. More appropriate for the current situation though.. :)
Remembering an old one..
When in a hole, slow down.. think and move..
The fastest way to finish something is to do it slowly and correctly..
The first thing to do when you realize you are in a hole..
is to stop digging..
Understand why the hole happened..
and start working towards it..
Key things that help –
1) Most things can be undone by hard work
2) Its better to be hard on ourselves than have a situation where others are hard on us..
3) Believe in our ability to ‘right’ the situation
4) It doesnt matter where we are now, what matters is where we want to be and what we do about it..
Sometimes..when you have had a hard
awakening.. or have suddenly clarified an unclear situation which generally results in tons of next steps and things to be done.. good to sleep over it.. wake up and start the day with a fresh mind..
