Are you using the present moment in the best way?
Why the present moment? It is because I am totally convinced that we have control over one thing – that being the present moment. While nothing is wrong with planning I know that many people including myself spend way too much time planning for things that may never happen.
Yes, I know that there is 168 hours per week, but you can’t control the time that is in the future. The only time you can control is the one you are in now. So how do you control this time;
- Firstly, become aware of your mental, emotional and physical habits. What are the things that throw you off course?
- Secondly, be aware of ‘bad’ interruptions and prepare for them with statements or actions that will prevent these from occurring regularly.
- Thirdly, ask yourself questions like; ‘How much value will doing this achieve?’ or “Can this be done by someone else?’ or ‘Will doing this lead to a suitable outcome?’
When you overcome the barriers to working in the present moment, the actions you take will move you forward with greater efficiency.
