Wow, I can't believe it's been a month since I last wrote to you! it's been a whirlwind but that's no excuse.
Sometimes there's just too much on our plates, right? Do you have that problem?
As multi-passionate people, we will always end up with an overflow, so we have to streamline on a regular basis. I like to do it once a quarter.
So this letter brings you:
my best tips for streamlining and focusing on what really matters.
and exciting news about two new training offers
Streamline for Focus
When I start dropping balls, I realise that it's time for a cull, but I always have difficulty letting go of projects I've nurtured. This little routine helps me out.
Brain dump everything you're involved in onto a big piece of paper or your journal, including the bigger projects and the little things you have to do, like admin. I also include family stuff so that I can get a bigger picture. Have fun with this, use different-coloured pens, and categorise in any way you like.
Draw a green circle around anything that is revenue-generating, or you have a commitment to completing.
Draw a purple circle around the things you love doing, the ones that bring you joy.
Look at your list for anything obvious that you can let go of. And strike it out.
Take time out and return to your list and see if there is anything else you can let go of. Repeat until satisfied.
Now prioritise what's left on your list - be realistic about what you can achieve.
I have to do this several times a year and always find stuff I can let go of. It also helps me renew my commitment and focus on the essential things.
A bonus step is to have a journal for the things you will review in three months and see if they make it back to your list.
Let me know what you let go of and what goes on your review list.
