What’s the BIG picture? That’s a question I need to keep asking myself when I encounter change. ‘It’s not about you, it’s not about me, it’s always about the big picture. It’s always about what’s best for the whole, and the goal is more important than the role. Always look towards the big picture.’ (J.Maxwell) I find when I step back and avoid focusing on how change is impacting me personally, I am better able to find breakthrough solutions that reduce the stress of change and challenge. How can you step back from the trees and look at the forest?

Productivity: Idea #113
How would you like to boost your productivity, that is, what you can accomplish? Here are 5 ideas that might be useful: ‘Organize Fewer Meetings…(Plan) Time Away From the Desk…Implement Time Tracking Software…Avoid Setting Unrealistic Goals…Lower Distractions.’ (GF) To expand on these ideas, think about whenever you DO have meetings, make sure only the required people are involved, that there is an agenda, and keep it as short as possible (30 minutes is good). Take regular breaks, and software may help with the planning of that. If you have an important task to work on, turn off your email, messaging, phone notifications, and perhaps put on your headphones to facilitate focus. Let’s see how much boost we can find today.

Incremental: Idea #112
One of the reasons I started sharing these ideas was I’ve learned that growth happens in small steps. ‘Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.’ (J.Clear) It’s not just the big decisions, or the visible ones, it’s all the small, daily choices that are made when no one is watching. That’s what makes you who you are – and can be – in life.
