From 600 Emails to Clear Focus
|
Monday mornings can be rough sometimes. We were gone for a longer weekend, and then I sat down on Monday morning trying to get back to work. When I opened my MacBook, I saw the stack of 600 unopened emails. Because I was gone, I also didn’t have a clear next step in mind. The lack of clarity got me overwhelmed. I knew I had to get back into the work. So I took a step back. What is the next task that matters most? I just get back to my routine. Let’s get started with my daily Newsletter. What was a story that happened this weekend? How does that relate to you? Then I wrote the Newsletter. It took me right back to my routine of building my business. That is the power of the habit stack. One habit can pull you back in. There is a second upside. Writing my Newsletter every morning helps me think of you. Then I’m getting grounded to do the next thing that will help you, too. This way I’m not distracted by all the things I could do. Instead, I’m directed to your next problem. Trying my best to solve that for you. This is what pulls me back in on a Monday morning. How I go from overwhelmed to clarity on what to do next. It’s those simple habits that make me better in business. |
