stuck? a simple plan
Sometimes I feel a little off. Discombobulated. Struggling to find my rhythm.
There is no shortage of advice on what to do in these situations, but here is a simple plan that has consistently worked for me.
- Take out a pen and paper (I like an index card).
- Write down the things I need to accomplish. No projects -- only individual tasks. This doesn't have to be a comprehensive list -- just trying to get it out of my head.
- Circle three things. Only three. It can be anything on the list -- no prioritization necessary.
- Do those three things and cross them off.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4, as needed.
This simple process gives my brain a bit of success. Solid purchase…a place to start. A bit of momentum usually provides a kick start on which to build.
