How to get things done
It’s simple but not easy
You know what would make it WAY easier for you to get things done?
Here’s a concept that, when I shared it with a client, she literally told me: “You should trademark this.”
The concept is...
Realistic planning.
I know, it sounds so simple.
But the idea is: You should make plans that are realistic.
Plans that, when you look at them, you think, “Oh yeah, I’m 100% sure I can get that all done.”
It sounds so easy, right?
So why do people not do this?
The reason you don’t do this is because it’s often disappointing to look at the realistic plan.
You’ll look at it and think, “Oh god, THAT’S all I’m doing today?? But I wanted to do so much more! So much stuff is getting pushed to tomorrow and next week and next month. It’s so disappointing!!”
But here’s the thing about realistic planning.
When you make realistic plans, it’s like you take a little shot of disappointment right up front.
You feel disappointed when you look at it…and THEN you get to feel on track and on top of things the whole way through, while you actually execute.
Because it’s doable and realistic and you can actually get it done at the times you said you would get it done.
With unrealistic planning, the opposite thing happens.
You feel hopeful and on top of things and relieved right at the beginning because you’re like, “Oh, I’ll just do it all today.”
And then you feel disappointed the whole way through because the plan wasn’t realistic.
So you don’t get it all done, and then you’re bummed out or annoyed or frustrated at yourself that things are constantly getting moved, and you feel more and more behind.
I know it can be a little disappointing to make the realistic plan…
But the nice thing is you get the disappointment over with right away.
It’s just a little shot right at the beginning, and then you can feel on track the rest of the way.
If you’re someone who feels perpetually behind on their to-do list…
And you’re always researching time management systems and productivity hacks…
And if I could wave a magic wand and make you feel productive and on top of things and in flow the vast majority of the time, you would leap at the chance…
Then I want you to come talk to me.
Because that’s exactly what I help people do.
Imagine sitting down to work every day knowing that everything on your list is going to get done.
Imagine wrenches getting thrown into your plan, and you reacting smoothly and confidently, never falling off track.
Imagine going to bed every day satisfied and proud with everything you accomplished.
That’s the life I can help you build.
So let’s start today.
What my clients have to say…
“Everything we talked about was actionable. It never felt like there was something fuzzy where I walked away and had to sort of wonder how this is ever going to impact my life. At the end of each session, it was very clear what I was going to go away and do differently the next day.”
