What you think is urgent isn’t actually urgent and you’re spending more time on it than you actually need to. On top of that, you’re likely not making as meaningful of progress on larger tasks since you haven’t made the time to dedicate to it. It’s harsh truth and happens to us all.
So. A challenge.
After reading this, put all your to-dos to the side and focus on one project for the day. Not the urgent project, but the big one, challenging one, meaningful one.
In doing so, you’ll discover two things.
One is that you will feel fulfilled at the end of the day because you’ve experienced serious progress. And, there’s always satisfaction from overcoming or avoiding distractions. You’ll feel like you’ve won the day.
Second, all the tasks you thought were urgent? They’ll get done tomorrow because they need to be done then more than they need to today. As such, you’ll complete them more efficiently, more creatively and more passionately since you’re riding the high from yesterday.
Stay Positive & Big Things First
