If you were to make a list of everything you want to complete this week, it would likely be even longer than you\u2019d anticipate. The cold, hard fact is that life can be one busy ride and to get more done, you\u2019re inclined to rush things.<\/p>\n
And when you\u2019re always in a hurry, you probably give up on striving for a calmer, more satisfying result.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n I remember a long time ago I was taught the concept of \u2013 \u2018slow is smooth, smooth is fast.\u2019<\/p>\n So, with that why not consider these tips to get more out of life by taking it down a few notches:<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Resolve to slow down.<\/strong>\u00a0Step one is consciously stating to yourself that you\u2019ll slow down, beginning right now. Keep the idea of slowing down in the forefront of your mind. Accept the fact that more isn\u2019t necessarily better.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Reflect on the times when you feel the most rushed.<\/strong>\u00a0Is it in the mornings when you\u2019re getting ready for work or preparing dinner in the evening? Maybe you\u2019re going at high speed when you\u2019re trying to get the kids out the door to school.<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Notice if certain people or things going on around you compel you to hurry.<\/strong>\u00a0Trying to get to the bottom of why you\u2019re rushing will help you figure out how to slow things down. For example, if certain people are frequently telling you to \u201churry up,\u201d find time to talk with them about the situation.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Make adjustments in your schedule.<\/strong>\u00a0For example, if morning is the time you feel the most hurried, set your alarm 15 minutes earlier to allow more time. Take advantage of the power you have by doing something as simple as getting up earlier.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Examine your overall schedule.<\/strong>\u00a0Are you consistently in a rush because your schedule is crammed? Are you trying to do too much in a day? Look over your daily schedule with a critical eye.<\/p>\n 6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Remember that you can be a lot more efficient, happier, and calmer by slowing down your pace.<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019ll find them more rewarding and invigorating when you don\u2019t have to rush from one activity to the next.<\/p>\n Slowing down will bring a new vitality and purpose to your work and life.<\/p>\n As I often tell the businesses I work with when implementing EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System\u00ae) that \u2018less is more\u2019. Focus on the things that really matter, get them done and don\u2019t try to do everything \u2013 remember slow is smooth, smooth is fast\u2026\u2026\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n If you would like to better organise your days why not try ‘The 90 Day Business Goal Tracker’ which is available on Amazon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you were to make a list of everything you want to complete this week, it would likely be even longer than you\u2019d anticipate.
