In this episode, we dive deep into the myth of "enough" time and how it might be holding you back from starting and completing projects. Join me on this journey where we explore my recent experience with buying furniture and how it triggered some uncomfortable feelings around incomplete tasks.
**Key Takeaways:**
1. **The Discomfort of Unfinished Business:**
- I share my personal struggle with discomfort and agitation when things are halfway done. From furniture purchases to big projects like writing a book or starting a podcast, I've been there.
2. **The "Enough" Time Trap:**
- Reflecting on my corporate job, I realized the trap of waiting for that mythical "enough" time, especially as responsibilities grew. Sound familiar? Let's break free from this cycle.
3. **Shifting Focus: Making Time Work for You:**
- Toss the idea of waiting for "enough" time out the window. Instead, learn to make time work for you. We discuss two crucial steps to prep for effective time management.
a. **Reconciling Your Relationship with Time:**
- Recognize that there's never enough time, but there's always plenty of time. It's about changing your perspective.
b. **Feeling the Discomfort:**
- Embrace and understand the discomfort, so it no longer stops you from starting new projects.
**Practical Strategies:**
- **Setting Smaller Goals:**
- Break down big tasks into bite-sized pieces. Learn the power of deciding when you are done. It's about progress, not perfection.
- **Prioritization:**
- Create a roadmap by prioritizing tasks. What needs to be done first? What can wait? This clarity smoothens the process.
- **Time Allocation:**
- Allocate specific time slots for smaller tasks. Even 15-30 minutes can make a significant impact. Consistency is key.
- **Celebrating Victories:**
- Don't forget to celebrate small wins. Acknowledge success to boost motivation and keep the momentum going.
