Spending time worrying about what needs to be done verses actually getting it done can be worrisome. It is better to spend the energy taking action on what needs to be done. When you put off something important, it can feel like a heavy weight. However, if you set a time frame, you will be amazed at how much you can accomplish.

Another trick is to focus on what needs to be done that day. You don’t have to handle every task on your list ever, right at this very moment. You should do the important things first. It is also crucial to take time to think about what you are going to do. Don’t take too much time to get what you want to get done. Block out the time to focus on what you need to accomplish and do just that.

Sometimes, you can’t think everything through. It is best to take a step in the direction you want to go. Then figure out what worked well and what did not. Learn from that and move on. If you want to accomplish something big, you have to do this over and over again. You may have to adjust how you do it. When you do get it done, you will amazed at how all of your efforts paid off.

Whatever you do, do it with class. There is a story about a man who worked for another man. He had to have surgery. He thought his employer would cover the cost of the surgery. It was not covered. He spoke to his boss. The boss said it would be covered, and the man would never get another bill. He did not get a bill. Several years later, the boss died. He told the wife of his boss, what he had done. The wife told him that the boss paid the bill. He had the money. He did what was right, and never told anybody.

I want to be like that boss. People make mistakes. My kids make mistakes. You don’t have to rub their noses in it. You don’t have to make them feel less than perfect. You don’t have to humiliate someone when they are down. Even if you don’t like someone, you don’t have to make them suffer.

I want to teach my kids to be classy. How do I do that? I want to be the best example. Her is how I can start: If I am at the grocery store and the cashier makes a mistake. I don’t have to argue with her. I don’t have to say, “I am going to tell your boss.” I can ask them to correct it. I can be polite and kind. I can state in such a way that I take responsibility for the error. It is not on them. Be classy.

Sometimes there is a changeup in the way you need to accomplish a task. What you did long ago will not help you finish up what you need to get done now. Things change. People change. Technology changes. How do you stay in the know? You may want to start a self directed education program. It is never too late to learn something new. If you are already primed for learning, picking up a new skill may be easier.

Building relationships with others can help you learn new ideas. Others may have a different way of doing what is given to them. They may interpret it in a different way. They may open to helping you achieve your goals. If you all have a common goal, it is beneficial to have a good repore with your team. You may require some time to think on your own. That is okay, too.

The trick is in applying what you learn. If you are open to trying new things, you can achieve your goals. If you don’t like change, then you may have a difficult time. You can learn a new skill or learn something new and make new friends. Experiment. Change things up or look at them in a new way. Your changeup can help you get out of a rut.

Tomorrow is a new day. I know I can make it work. I am excited an nervous about what I have to do. This will take some time. I have to have a little patience and courage. This is not permanent. There are days when I want to be stronger than I am. I have to be stronger, for my family. It takes a little act every day to add up. I want to see results, however, I have to be patient.

I want to make a difference. I want to do something heroic. I want to do something epic. I know that it will take time. There are others who live more courageously than I. I know I can make it. I have to keep telling myself that. What can I do? I know I have to ask for help in many areas. I know I have to accept help. I know I have to do more things to get where I want to go.

Making something worth while, is what I want to do. There are times when I know I have to work harder, faster, and better. I all I have to do is make it work one day after another.

Are there areas of your life that seem to be falling apart? Do you feel like you have no where to turn? There are benefits to tidying up your home. I make my kids help. They actually want to help. We make it a game. Who can clean up the fastest. “Maybe, you will get a prize,” is what I say. It is good to do this as a family.

When everyone pitches in. This takes no time at all. It helps bring about good will and teamwork in the family. It is good to reinforce positive behavior. My kids just started doing things around the house. I am sure to heap on lots of praise. Maybe they missed a spot here and there, but I don’t want to discourage them.

Another benefit of having everyone help clean up the house, is that I have more time to spend with them, doing something a lot more fun. They are motivated to clean because they get more quality time with Mom and Dad when they do what they are supposed to do. In working together they are learning the value of hard work. They are also learning some negotiating skills and project management skills. They love to keep things tidy, now.
