When was the last time that you did everything you promised to yourself you were going to do on any given day?
For me it was the day I finished recording the backing tracks for my singing lessons. I went to bed at 4:00 am and I had to wake up at 8 so I could get on time to a workshop I was invited to with Robbie Kramer.
What is the sensation that you’re left with when you do that?
I was very happy with myself, like I haven’t in a long time. The tiredness wasn’t even compared to the sensation of having accomplished what I wanted during the day.
The contrast in feeling is immense when the contrary happens. That is, you don’t complete what you promised to yourself. You feel abandoned.
So ask yourself:
In order of priority, what is the most important thing I’m gonna do today?
Then just do that one thing with 100% of you behind it and don’t worry about the rest.
Then see how it feels.
