Thought of the Day

Anxiety. Stress. Overwhelm. No Motivation.

Feelings we’ve all felt when facing or contemplating a major goal, task or project in life.

These feelings can prevent us from taking action.

They can prevent us from being and doing our best.

However!

When thinking of or faced with a goal, task or project, most of us focus on ends. Meaning, we focus on the end product (the result).

The huge 15,000 word essay.

That talk in front of 250 of your colleagues.

The 30lbs of fat you need to lose.

Running a 26 mile marathon when you’ve barely ran the length of yourself

If we focus on ends we make things difficult for ourselves.

First, this product (ends) focused thinking may stop you from doing anything worthwhile at all.

And then if you do manage to get started, focusing on the product will burden you further, limiting your ability to enjoy the process and produce the best results you can.

An so, in this short Thought Of The Day we explore (with a story) how focusing on the process NOT the product will help you:

-Get started

-Achieve more

-Boost motivation

-Improve task/project/goal enjoyment

-Optimise your performance to produce your best.
