Friday, at last! If your motivation needs a boost after a rough week, here are some thoughts to help you adjust your attitude about your work.
Maybe you'll also think differently about what you want to achieve.
New Thinking
1. Try what Stephen Covey advises: The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.
2. If you're an author, or another kind of internet entrepreneur, change the way you think about producing income. Instead of thinking about generating sales for one book/product, think about each book, or product, as being an income stream. Each income stream combines with your other income streams to create consistent income. The more books or products you have, the more income streams.
3. Learn to manage your time (and your projects) with a calendar, not a clock.
By that I mean, have annual goals and break them down into what must be done each month to achieve the annual goal.
Break that down into what must be done each week, then break that down into what must be done on a daily basis to make the weekly way point that helps you reach the monthly milestone and thereby achieve the annual goal.
4. Start using a day planner—either on your cell phone or computer/tablet, or a hard copy one. You'll be amazed how it helps you stay on top of every responsibility.
5. Take action, no matter how small, every single day. All of those actions added together help you achieve your goals. It's like Wayne Huizenga, owner of the Miami Dolphins said: "Some people dream of success, while other people get up every morning and make it happen."
Did you ever read The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss?
In that self-help book, he said: "For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. The stars will never align... The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect."
Takeaway Truth
If you want something remarkable, go after it!
