Both of these attitudes are a mistake. There’s nothing wrong with asking for help – in fact, people who truly reach their full potential are those who are able to delegate and to rely on others. And even if someone else doesn’t perform a particular task in exactly the way you would, you might find that their method is perfectly OK too. r
And while we all have days when things just don’t go smoothly, if you’re regularly struggling to make progress on major projects, you need to take a few simple steps to make sure you’re in a good position to focus. r
We all have plenty of good intentions for our lives, but it can be really tough to follow through on these. As soon as the initial motivation wears off, and the hectic nature of day-to-day life gets in the way, we begin to let things slide. Pretty soon, we give up on our goals altogether. r
Wouldn’t it be great to have more time? With a few extra hours a week, you could finally accomplish those goals that have been on your list for so long … but your life just seems to get busier and busier.
It doesn’t have to be that way. You can find time to reach your goals – in fact, you already have enough time, you just might not realize it. r
Do you ever get a sinking feeling at the very start of your day? Perhaps it’s prompted by a full inbox – again, or several colleagues stopping by to ask questions, or the mountain of work on your desk.
Whatever the exact cause, the feeling is the same: you’re distinctly uninspired about the day ahead – and your stress levels are already rising. Once you get into this frame of mind, minor problems suddenly seem like major crisis situations. r
Of course, there’ll be times when you want to help out a friend, college, or family member. There’ll also be times when you think you don’t have any choice about saying “yes” or “no” – like when your boss asks if you can work late, again. But if you run yourself ragged trying to help out everyone else, you’re never going to achieve the things that you want. r
