When was the last time you did an inventory of how you spend your time? Are you concentrating on things that give you joy or move you closer to your business goals?
If you’re spending your valuable time on things that don’t matter, that time could be better spent doing something else.
I loved this short from Mel Robbins. Committing to doing fewer (but more important) things will definitely help you to get more done.
Tim Ferriss is a legend in the entrepreneur community, but he throws himself under the bus in this video and shares how he is just a guy trying to make stuff happen, a guy who struggles like the rest of us.
Anybody else not want to get out of bed some mornings? (Raising my hand.)
Anybody else procrastinate and fall down the rabbit hole watching content? (Yes. Often.)
Anybody else wrestle with entrepreneurial anxiety and/or depression? (It’s a thing. Many of us do.)
However, in the middle of muddling through and not “crushing it,” Ferriss still got some big things accomplished, which he also shares.
I liked his eight-step process for maximizing efficacy. It’s really simple, which means it will probably work for you.
And I really like his idea that being busy is a form of laziness.
It is reassuring and inspiring when people you think have it all together share that they are just messy humans like the rest of us.
I have been saying for over a decade that the badge of busyness is BS. Nobody else cares that you’re busy – because they are as well. I have a rant in one of my talks where I try to get the audience to ban the phrase “crazy busy” from their vocabulary because it makes them look silly and self-important.
I hope this post shook some things up for you. The key to getting more done is focusing on doing less. Less is the new more!
