Stop - Start - Continue: A Mid-Year Reset to Help You Make the Most of the Rest of 2024 If the link to play the video above isn't working, click here to watch. If you're like me, Reader, your to-do list feels like it's a mile long. And while I'm pretty good at prioritizing manageable daily to-do's, I probably don't look at my not-to-do list as often as I should. You know about the not-to-do list, right? It's similar to Rachelle's "Stop" column in today's video about the mid-year reset. You identify the behaviors that don't serve you ... that don't move you forward to achieving your goals ... so that you can stop doing them and open up your time for more productive activities. I'm sharing the video because it's such a simple, actionable exercise to help you identify how your current behaviors / habits / actions are affecting your progress towards your goals.
This exercise is so powerful because it allows you to reclaim the power of intentional action. So much of what we do each day we do automatically, often without much conscious thought. Sometimes it's because it's habit (what we've always done). Or it's "easier" than figuring out a different way. Or it may be any number of other reasons. But whatever the reason for settling for the status quo of our current behavior and action, we have the innate power to change what we do with our time. We have the power to choose what to focus on. And it's critical that we're intentional about what we focus on. Because, as Tony Robbins teaches: Where focus goes, energy flows. Today's Stop - Start - Continue exercise helps you reset your focus so that you can intentionally direct where your energy is flowing. I hope it helps you like it has me.

WFH Tip: To WIN working from home, take regular breaks away from your desk. Get up and walk to the area in your home that's farthest away from your desk. Even better, go outside!
