Okay, this is the solution section one you've been waiting for. Here, I'm going to give you some solutions to try listed by the types that I referred to in the previous section. For the overlay analyzer, remember that done is better than perfect. Your projects need to see the light of day. If you're always working on them to make them perfect, that means nobody gets to see them. Nobody gets to enjoy them.
You don't even get the credit for them, because they're just unfinished and hidden. Remember, the information overload is paralyzing. You will never have all the information, right? I mean, it'll never have it. There's just way too much information. It's coming at you every day in tons and tons of quantities.
So if you can make peace with the fact that you won't ever have all the information, then you can get to the point of deciding how much information is enough. Are you the kind who wants to keep all your options open? Here are some solutions You must decide to decide. If you don't you know what that means. It means other people will decide for you. When you put off decision making, you know, Time keeps moving forward, other people step in, they make decisions and those options are gone.
Now. Sometimes it's a relief, not to make decisions yourself, and that's fine. But you have to strike a balance between making the decisions for things that really matter to you. And remember that not deciding is a decision. Again, when you put off deciding, you have said, I'm not going to decide on this. I'm going to try to keep these options open, but you open the door to other people coming in and making decisions for you.
And finally, those options are illusions. Until you decide on one you don't have any of them, none of them. choosing one of the options means you only have one, but you will have it solutions for the worrywart. You often won't know if you've made the right choice. Unless you take action that even applies to thinking about which door your socks go in. You might worry you're gonna make the wrong decision.
But how will you ever know you won't have any evidence that you've made the wrong decision until you decide and do it and evaluate? If the mistake can cause you a lot of money or time or damage a relationship, those are worthy considerations. In the case of a coupon, the dollar amount saving on orange juice stock is going to be a great loss if the purchase turns out to be a mistake and you hate the stuff and you throw it away. The biggest mistake is getting suckered into saving money on something you don't really even want to begin to project yourself into the future. Next month, next year in 10 years, will you regret this decision? Or will you regret not making the decision?
Here's help from his cranky pants. practice listening closely so you can hear that people are requesting need to do something not demanding. Be aware of instinctive reactions you have that aren't based on what's really happening. Don't take it personally, ever. Even if someone does seem like they're demanding something from you, people do what they want. They're pretty much always thinking about themselves, not you, even if your spouse Finally, do what you know is right, even if it means giving in.
Embrace truth over victory. Don't shoot yourself in the foot. Here's my ideas for Mr. Busy pants. Realize that you weren't Superman, or even Supergirl, you're just find the way you are now. Don't let the priorities of others take precedence over your own. If you allow your time to be swallowed up and your energy depleted by others Well, there's not much leftover from you and what you want what you love.
Keeps the end goal clear and in mind if you don't improve The goal of each task, that's a sign that it's not really your goal. It's somebody else's, and you should get back to your own work. Remember that you're already in control of your own time. You are choosing every moment I spend your time. Let that empower you to make positive decisions. And here's some ideas for the adrenaline junkie.
Don't wait to feel excited about a project. That might not happen until you get involved in it. Waiting for inspiration means you'll always be gracing the clock. And inspiration actually can come as you work. satisfy your need for speed and more benign ways like speed cleaning your kitchen, race the clock and it's just for fun when nothing important is on the line like a friendship or your career. Before you act, focus on how you'll feel later, not just in the moment.
This type in random Sharky type tends to live for the moment which is often a delightful Way to be but the downside is that you're always reacting to your current feeling state, whether it's appropriate or not.
