I hope that by now, you are well into planning out the New Year.
I trust you have some inspiring goals selected and are refining projects and plans of actions in support of these goals.
One of the tools I employ and recommend to my coaching clients is More/Less, Start/Stop.
It’s a simple process that always leads to greater insight as to what goals, projects, tasks and resolutions we can choose and focus upon to make our life and our business better.
What would you like to have more of and what would you like to have less of in the year ahead? Here’s a few ideas that should get you thinking.
- More reading and less TV
- Be more proactive and less waiting for things to happen
- More order and less clutter
- More clarity, less distraction
- More networking , less isolating
- More vegetables, less carbs
- More planning, less reacting
Another exercise with a slightly different twist is listing what you want to start doing and what you want to stop doing. Here again are a few ideas to get you started:
- Start getting up earlier, stop sleeping in
- Start saving, stop debting
- Start working out at the gym, stop being a couch potato
- Start building a mailing list, stop chasing customers
- Start getting rid of things and stop hoarding
Practicing the Start/Stop, Less/More method will help you get clearer on ways you can design, plan, create and live your best life.
As always, I recommend you practice “Correction without Invalidation”. Don’t be hard on yourself. Make changes without making yourself wrong. It’s what a self-actualized person does. What you did or did not do yesterday or last year is just as over as World War I.
