There are two types of people in the world.
Those who need to be motivated to start a project, chase a dream, do something they love, and then there’s those who need to kill a project they care about. This post is for the latter.
When we’re inspired, passionate and motivated about a project, we’re usually feeling the same about a few other projects, too. Most of the time, the projects are all within a similar theme. But as we continue to follow our hearts and do what we love, we lose bandwidth, time gets crunched and stress levels around balancing it all begin to rise.
The best advice I’ve heard from an entrepreneur I met in New York was that sometimes you have to kill your babies.
When those projects you started from scratch and raised up to this point stop serving you the way you want; when they become more work in the long run than the return you’ll see; when you’ve found a project that you care more about, that has a greater impact, that you wish you had more time to focus on…then it’s time to do that project.
It’s easy to stop doing meaningless tasks and make more time by turning off the TV and figuring out a way to work harder on the project during your commute, but it’s more meaningful to shave off the least meaningful projects on your list even if they’re still meaningful.
It’s hard, but worth it.
Stay Positive & Time To Make A List
