She walked up to me after a workshop and said, “Thank you. I walked in stressed, and now I am walking out feeling calm, like I can create a day where I am a success.”
So, what secret to success did I share in our workshop that made such a difference?
Goal setting.
See if this process can make the same difference for you:
Each day, write down three things you must get done.
Schedule them immediately on your calendar.
Work on each until you are done or must stop.
Plan breaks to refresh every 30-90 minutes.
Here are the three rewards you receive when you get your top goals done.
Your energy increases. As you finish an important task, you get a kick of endorphins (the “happy” hormone) and you feel better.
2. Your self-esteem improves. Self-esteem = how much you like yourself. When you get an important task done, you limit the “critical voice” because you are keeping the promise to yourself, “I will do this task.”
3. You become more successful. People who finish tasks that are critical to the success of the organization are “winners,” more successful at work, happier in life.
People who are most successful in life have goals.
They schedule the activities to reach those goals.
Then they get it done.
Do what winners do.
Write down your top 3 goals at work today.
Get it done.
Move from stress to calm success.
