Yesterday I was talking about how on Sunday it will be April. The second quarter of the year. Have you accomplished ¼ of your goals for the year yet?
My guess is that you probably haven’t.
I know I haven’t.
This is why you need to start kicking some butt. You need to start doing something NOW, so that your second quarter of 2018 will be 100x better than the first quarter, and you can still end 2018 way better than you even expected.
What am I going to do?
Well, I’ve read a lot of books and taken part in an amazing challenge (the 100 Day Challenge) in the past, and am going to put them into action. I am going to stop making excuses, and start getting more accomplished – faster.
What are you going to do?
If you already know what you have to get done – DO IT! – make the time. Even if you have to get up early or stay up late…or give up some activities you’d prefer to be doing. Do it now, and reap the rewards later.
If you aren’t 100% sure of what you need to do, or can’t get yourself to do it…I mentioned a few things I’ve done that have helped, and I’ll go into a bit more detail now:
- 12 Week Year – This is a book I read a few years ago, and really helps you get a lot done – fast. The goal is that you’ll get more done in the next 12 weeks than most people get done in an entire year. I have a hard time figuring out what I’m going to do for an entire year, so this was really helpful. I liked that it made it a lot easier for me to figure out what I wanted to accomplish over the next 3 months.
- 100 Day Challenge – This will kickstart you into getting a lot more done (see below – it opened today!)
- A really good planner/to-do list – This will make it easy for you to just follow what’s on the list and not have to think about what to do. Over the past few years I’ve used the Inner Guide Planner which I love because it not only helps you plan your week, but helps you figure out each week and month what are your top priorities, what you really want to get accomplished, and more.
It really doesn’t matter what method you use…but if you aren’t where you want to be, now is the time to change it. Join me in doing something to make the second quarter of 2018 better than the first!
Enjoy,
P.S. A few years ago, I participated in Gary Ryan Blair’s 100 Day Challenge. It was worth it. Every day you watch a video and get motivated…and then you get a lot of work done.
You also do some pre-work before the challenge starts, so that you can figure out exactly what your goals are, why you want to accomplish them, and how you’re going to accomplish them. That alone makes it a LOT easier to accomplish what you want to!
Want to learn how to Achieve. Goals. Fast.?
He’s just opened up a new challenge, so now is the time to join in and make your next 100 days better than your last few years!
