In my previous post<\/a>, I talked about my battles, demons and obstacles that prevent me from finishing projects. I also mentioned that I’d come up with counteractive solutions. I was motivated by Jon Acuff’s book Start<\/a>. In his book, he encourages to “mock each fear that you’ve written down”. Even though this is slightly different, it was a great exercise to do. Now I just need to keep these solutions and to make these inside voices louder!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Embrace success<\/div>\n
Embrace failure – since it’s a great motivator for success<\/div>\n
\n
Stop over thinking things<\/div>\n
Stick to the cause and to the deadline<\/div>\n
Remind myself LIFE IS SHORT<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Stay focused and do one thing at a time [use the Pomodoro Technique<\/a> – where you set a timer and do it within that time]<\/p>\n
Start saying no to things and stop doing things that do not matter<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Start prioritizing<\/p>\n
Use my calendar to set realistic deadline<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
How about you? What are some solutions that work for you in completing projects?<\/div>\n
