Wise Words.

“If all you can do it crawl, start crawling.”

Rumi

Overwhelm.

Most people aren’t “crazy busy.” They’re distracted and lack focus.

If you regularly find yourself overwhelmed, here’s what to do.

Step 1: Pause.

Step 2: Take a deep breath.

Step 3: Think about your life like it was a computer operating system.

Step 4: Ask yourself, “How many apps do I currently have running in my life?

If you have a lot of “apps” running in your life, it can slow down your life operating system.

Worse case scenario, it can lead to a “crash.”

Step 5: Identify which apps are essential and must remain open.

As Jim Collins is quoted as saying, “If you have more than three priorities you don’t have any.

Step 6: Identify which apps are important, but can be minimized for the time being.

Step 7: Identify which apps are distractions and not important and close them.

A powerful question to protect your most precious assets - your time and energy:

“What am I willing to give up in order to live the life that I want?”
