Take Time To Reflect

August – a time when most of us step back and take a breath from our busy lives. Maybe it’s that schoolgirl in all of us that regards this month as the time to gear up for the first day back into the trenches right after Labor Day.

It’s family vacation time for some of us and business planning time for others. Regardless of how you spend your time this month, it’s important to realize that before you know it you’ll be back on that treadmill in just 36 short days.

So, here’s what to do:

First, write down why your work is important to you. Second, ask yourself how what you do makes a difference in the world. Three, share those reflections with family and friends.

Knowing what matters and finding purpose in your life will energize you for the months ahead.

Books that should be written - [quote:1m0dcpd7]"The Idiots Guide To Sticking With One Thing At A Time and Not Doing Something New All The Time" [/quote:1m0dcpd7] I myself am a 'constructive' procrastinator... I don't know if I'm alone in this. I have about six or seven projects I'm working on at any given time. I get one project almost done... then my interest is piqued by another project and I work on that... I get burnt out and move to another...I know I do this so I have it arranged such that once I get bored or burnt out with one project, I can step right back into project 1 - or 2 or 3, and get that a little bit more done before moving on to something else. As long as you're organized and know where all your reference material/idea sheets are when you're ready to get back to work on each project, it should be fine. I also find that by stepping away from a project - I still work on it in the recesses of my mind so that when I go back to it - it's with some good ideas that I wouldn't have had if I'd continued on with it originally. Maybe I should write a book on how to Procrastinate Constructively... I've actually thought about doing that...because most people procrastinate, don't they...and very few are ever able to stop.
