And what to do about it…in these challenging times.
Welcome to lesson two out of three of ‘Managing your time as a distracted entrepreneur’.
The first lesson helps you take your big idea, dream, or goal and utilize the productivity success cake (a whole e-book!) framework to achieve it. You have seen this lesson.
NOW, the second lesson we’re going to talk about diving deeper into what’s behind the Cake Process.
- Why is this so important- right NOW??
- What kinds of problems does the cake-process solve -so that you can have the life and business that you actually want to have?.
NEXT, lesson three is the live lesson on Tuesday September 5th 11am to 1pm EST, and you’re going to want to sign up for that. That’s where it all comes together.
For the purposes of this article, we will stick with highlights only. To get the full benefit you will want to download and read the full .pdf.
So….it really * IS * hard to say no, stay motivated, and get it all done.
I know for me, motivation lately has been really hard. There just have been a lot of things in my life. I’ve got aging parents with major issues. I’ve got teenager issues. Home and car stuff. And a new relationship. My whole life feels like a fall swirl. The economy’s being weird, and people seem to be kind of funky and non-committal. It hasn’t been the same in my business as it has been before. That can feel strange and uncomfortable. So if any of this resonates with you, stay with me. We will get through these times together. I have been through a lot of difficult times and I have always emerged stronger and wiser. You will, too. Stay with me.
How about YOU??
Here are some reasons you may find yourself becoming un-grounded and scattered.
- Inflation;
- Housing shortages;
- Prices, escalating prices;
- Job shifts;
- Covid has returned.
When I say job shifts I mean, you go to a restaurant and it’s not open on a Tuesday or a Wednesday because nobody wants to work there anymore. That’s where we are in 2023. There’s things that are going on in the world. So that’s why I’m offering these lessons right NOW…about 100 days before this year comes to an end.
In fact, there is an anxiety explosion and a fun deficit. And COVID..just when we thought it was done, so it just kind of keeps coming up and slapping us in the face. It’s crazy.
It’s really causing a new level of anxiety. Our cortisol, that stress, that thing that kicks us into gear, just keeps coming and we are experiencing too much cortisol. With that, our sympathetic nervous system goes into overload.
When our sympathetic nervous system goes into overload, we start to jump around and we might be jumping around from thing to thing.
When we’re jumping around from thing to thing, guess what? We get scattered.
THAT is what the cortisol and the craziness of stuff that’s going on right now externally and internally has to do with you and your time management.
However…there’s great news. There are things that you can do about it.
Here are the steps… 1) reassess, 2) prioritize, and 3) consciously decide.
How do I reassess?
Let’s go behind the scenes. Go deep within yourself and ask,
- “What’s going on in my life and what do I want?”
- “What do I want in my life to be different?”
Within that question, the productivity success cake process is invaluable.
The above is a great taste of lesson 2, so…download it now.
Then…come along Tuesday 9/5 to the Live Lesson 3 where we tie it all together.
Now, you can do it on your own, but let’s get real. People don’t often do the things that they maybe “should.” When you can do it with other people and you can really get clear on your priorities and really get clear on your time management, your cortisol levels are going to go back down. You’re going to be able to think clearly. You’re going to be able to focus, and that scatter is going to be greatly diminished.
So- that’s just a little peek into your second lesson. Comment below and tell me: what’s going on for you and your life that you really want to shift? I want to know.
Just imagine, at the end of this year, ringing in the new year saying, “I’m so glad that I took that time management workshop! It went so much deeper than I ever imagined.”
Get your seat while you can. I have 3 places left.
