Trying to do it all?

The power of self-awareness
“Good...yeah, busy too”.
How many times have you heard that this week?
However hard we try, this time of year always turns frantic.
🏆 Pushing 2019 business objectives over the line…
🎯 Planning for 2020….
🍸 Social…….
✈ Holiday plans.
🎄 Christmas logistics – presents, diaries…
? And on and on…
With a bit more than 2 weeks to go until Christmas, I call this stage:
“I CAN STILL DO EVERYTHING!"
- all that’s needed is for EVERYTHING
to go perfectly and for NOTHING
to get in the way....
I thought it might be better being self-employed but this week I’ve been juggling my diary, new client intake sessions, finishing my tax return, drinks with network…..
Until, just in time, I noticed myself starting to inwardly grumble about leaving my desk for my daughter’s school concert.
🙈 Hmmmm…………the power of self-awareness…
So I had a firm word with myself and was reminded:
. I really can’t do it all.
. Much of it can wait or doesn’t matter.
. I won’t be distracted from the really important stuff ❤
What are you NOT going to do as you race to the finish?!
Ps. The concert was fab!
Sometimes it can feel IMPOSSIBLE to stop yourself losing your temper!
The right questions spark the right conversations
Ideas to help you return from holiday, refreshed, rejuvenated and raring to go!
