Clarity of choices- keeping your brain healthy

Clarity of purpose

The most common complaint I hear from my clients is, “ I don’t have enough time”.

There are so many choices of projects that need to get done, family and work to juggle and information to sort through every day.  If you don’t know which is the most important task  for today: that leads to feeling uncertain about where to spend your time. What I have found is that one hour of planning before the week starts makes the difference in how productive I feel at the end of the week. My planning includes a review of all the projects coming up, how important each one is, how much time it needs and what actions are required this week on any given project.

Try this for three weeks. Create a time where you can line up all your projects for the coming week, make a list which includes the next action for each project and decide how much time to give each one. Remember that you are not trying to finish everything; just keep it moving forward and taking actions. I sleep better at night when I know all my projects have been organized and have been given a space in my week.
