Not Enough Time and Later Is Better

"One the Annual Report is done, I will develop my team."

"Once we hire the new person, I will take that course."

"After the year end close, I can visit the community."

See a pattern here?

The pattern is thinking that later is better- and that we don't have enough time right now.

And the thing is - once "later" comes (after the annual report, year end close or new staff hire) we STILL say "I don't have enough time."

And then we use another excuse to delay the important.

Our brain likes us to think we don't have enough time.

It keeps us safe with doing the same thing, and little risk of failure.

But if you're listening to this podcast, you have an interest to become better at what you do.

And I want to help you.

One way you can become better at what you do is by recognizing unhelpful ways of thinking like this one...

"I don't have enough time."

But what is enough time?

We say it as if it's a fact.

I know I have been guilty of thinking I didn't have enough.

And yet when I started thinking in a more abundant, helpful way, my ability to get things done changed for the better.

And now I want to show you how "not enough" and "I will get to it later" is not helping you get to where you want to go.
