Are you a post holiday putter-offer?
If you’re anything like me the post holiday “I need a break!” can set in, and this attitude makes it hard to accomplish just about any and everything on our to-do list.
Here are a few tips on how I pull myself out of this mindset and start to tackle the “I want to have the best year ever” goal list.
1. Make a priority list.
Don’t overwhelm yourself with this task. Just set aside 10-15 minutes to create your 3 next-best-steps to-do list.
*Next-best-steps list must include:
- The 3 most important things you need to do to get the ball rolling.
- A detailed time frame of exactly when you will start and finish these steps.
- The mini-celebration that you will reward yourself with when each step is accomplished. Think your favorite latte at Starbucks or a hot bubble bath that night.
2. Just do it!
The 1st step that is…
Taking the 1st step is often the hardest, but the most effective in actually accomplishing anything.
I have forced myself to “just do it” for the last 3 weeks as I have had a never ending to do list with the holiday madness and planning for The Esthetician Success Live Master Class.
Every day I pick a specific time and force my self to sit for 1 hour and then I force myself to do something I enjoy (my reward). I am working on balance in my life so for every task there must be a stress free moment to balance it out.
3. Accept that good is good enough.
I think the next sentence will explain what I am talking about here… and will hopefully motivate you as well.
Perfectionism -> Procrastination -> Paralysis
Don’t hold off until all conditions are perfect or you will NEVER get anything done.
Just know that good is good enough and you can improve over time.
Here’s to a happy, healthy and super successful 2014.
