Got 5 minutes to spare???



I was spending an evening with some new friends last night and we were discussing how easily one can put things off until you have ‘enough’ time… As I sit here, eating my lunch, checking my emails and wondering how long bub will sleep I thought to myself, “Hmm… perhaps I should write a blog – it’s been a few weeks and I really want to get back in to it… oh if only I had ‘enough’ time to write a ‘proper’ entry…”

The conversation last night (well, ok – I should actually give full credit to Andrew here!)… reminded us all that you just need to ‘start’. Just – start, and see how far you go – you may find you get it all done really quickly, and you may even find that once you start going, you start to enjoy it and the ‘job’ becomes an enjoyable thing to do for the day.

And so – here I am – writing my first blog entry in a month … and… um yep – I’m enjoying it!

This blog is going to be nice and simple; short and sweet – we’ve all  heard it a thousand times before, “don’t put off until tomorrow, what you can do today” – but I thought I would send out a gentle reminder to all of us – to just get ‘started’! It’s ok if you don’t finish… it’s ok if you just ‘start’ and then have to stop – but buy taking small steps, making small decisions, achieving small tasks EACH day – day after day - you will get whatever it is done AND you might even enjoy it!

It’s the PERSISTENT, ongoing, regular action that gets us to where we want to be – not the once off biggies... so go on…  spend 5 mins now – get started… and who knows – you might even get to ‘TICK’ it off your list by the end of the day!

And there you have it – a big “TICK” for me for the day – thanks again Andrew!!
