Tell me if this is problematic for you, too.
You have a project you are committed to completing AND you repeatedly find yourself with “not enough time” to devote to it. You are inspired by this project, you want to bring it to life and once again you discover that instead of having two hours free you only have twenty minutes free.
Again.
I found myself in exactly this position yesterday.
I wanted to make some progress in outreach for my life work and “didn’t have enough time” before I was due to facilitate a session so I thought to myself, “Oh, well. Can’t bother with that now. I’ve blow it again.” when it was as if time-angel landed on my shoulder and said, “What makes you think you need a whole huge swath of time to make a difference?”
I listened intently to my intuitive-time-angel, my eyebrows scrunched together, my serious ponytail loosening a bit in the process.
“What if you didn’t need a huge swath of time?”
With that, I realized she was right.
I didn’t necessarily need a huge swath of time, I only needed exactly what I had.
I took the fifteen minutes I had a created a breakthrough. I took new ground in my marketing strategy simply because I said “Hey, you have a point, time angel” and leaped into a time-experiment.
Not only did I get a task done I had been avoiding, I had fun doing it because I made it into play instead of making it into something “I never seem to get right.”
Here’s a game for you to play.
Ask yourself, “What do I think about getting tasks done? What do I think about needing big chunks of time or small nibbles of time? How do these thoughts and beliefs influence my results?”
Spend some time pondering or writing or art journaling or talking to a friend about your time-beliefs.
Let me know how it goes!
