6 Simple Ways to Eliminate Your Excuses
- Breathe. We're often stressed, worried and afraid of a multitude of things all at the same time. All you have to do is take deep belly breaths.
- Perspective. We all make excuses. You can say you don't have enough time, but you can also overcome it if you really want to.
- Acceptance. Accept your excuses.
- Meditate. If I feel extremely stuck with an excuse, I take a 10-minute time-out and meditate.
- Imagination. Your imagination is a powerful tool, which is why I use it to analyze my options and motivate myself to get started.
- Eliminate. Last, but definitely not least, I love using tools like Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT for short) .
7 Reasons Why You Are Time Poor
- You Don't Say No. One of the biggest mistakes people make is to take on burdens that do not belong to them. Say no.
- You Don't Know Your Obligations. It is common to over commit your time if you are not aware of all your obligations.
- You Have Too Much Life Friction. Life Friction is self-inflicted time management. In other words, you create your own crises by your own actions and disorganization.
- You Lolly-gag. It is amazing that some of the same people that complain they don't have enough time are the same ones that lolly-gag and waste it.
- You Don't Put Your Priorities First. If you don't put your priorities first, it won't matter how fast you work, you may never get to what is important.
- You Try to Do Everything Yourself. We all have the same number of seconds in the day.
- You Don't Finish Things. When you don't finish tasks, you are only creating more work for yourself. Tasks undone actually create more work for you.
Working Hard Is not Enough. Here's 18 Ways to Work Smart
- Get clear on the objective. The clearer you are, the better.
- Create a vision. See the objective as your direction, and your vision as your destination.
- Take the 80/20 route. 80/20 route refers to the route that takes the least effort but gives you the maximum results.
- Go for high impact items. Go for the most important tasks - the ones that cause the highest impact.
- Create structures to maintain your flow. If you know how motivation works, you will know it comes in bursts and waves.
- Stop being a perfectionist. Stop obsessing about the details and specifics; they often take care of themselves.
- Learn from others. There are great resources, smart people, direct opportunities and top books around you all the time. Learn to make use of them.
- If it works, stick to it. If there is already a success formula that's working, then reapply that formula.
- Ask for help. If you don't ask, you'll never get.
- Cut out the fluff. Don't do things unless they are absolutely needed.
- Automate. Is there anyway to automate your tasks, especially labor intensive ones?
- Delegate.
- Outsource. If something is not your area of expertise or it can be better done by someone else, then outsource it.
- Wait. Sometimes, waiting may be the best solution.
- Pick your battles. Don't try to ram up against every barrier you face, especially if there's nothing much on the other side.
- Always lookout for a better way. Don't restrict yourself to a certain set rule of doing things just for the sake of status quo.
- Stop when you are tired.
- Review regularly. Do a regular review of what you have done in the past week and the corresponding results.
