Staying on Top of Things

Thats a problem that seems to be waging war on this industry, and ourselves. It seems so hard for people to stay on top of things these days. Its just so easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of our world, to forget what exactly it is we want. Its so hard sometimes to just take a few deep breathes and collect ourselves, so that we may continue along a desired path.

I know I’m very guilty of getting sidetracked, I cant even begin to tell you how many times I start something only to remember it two months later >_<>

You are the gardener of your life. You’re the one that chooses what seeds to plant where and when, how often you upkeep them, feed them, encourage them, and so forth. That goes for everything you do in your life, from the mundane to the magnificent. So what does that mean?

Put on your best pair of gloves, you’ve got a forest to plant!

Develop a routine for yourself. First and foremost, never let a project overwhelm the flow of your life. You must always make sure your job and living situation is secure, and that you have enough money for food and bills. Also don’t shut yourself off from the world, always be sure to schedule time for friends and loved ones. When you begin developing your routine, do it one step at a time. If you sit down and try to make out your whole routine, I can promise you it’ll never work. Start with the easier things that are related to your specific project. Start by making time for the small tasks

With a few weeks you’ll be so accustomed to these smaller tasks that adding a larger one won’t seem as difficult. You could even replace a couple of the smaller aspects with bigger more pressing parts of the project. As time goes on you’ll have a well oiled machine that you’ve personally adapted to and developed, allowing for maximum flexibility.

So next time you decide you want to start a new project, plan to finish it. Don’t start expecting to finish right away, give it some time and spread out your effort..that way you won’t wear down nearly as quick. It will also give the creative centers of the mind some needed time to rest, which will make it easier to continue pulling out interesting and innovative ideas.

Till next time, Peace & Prosperity my friends
