What is the catalyst that drives our actions? Why do we do the things that we do?
I know, its a very broad and weird question to ask.
The actions we take and decisions we make are all a means to an end. There is always a certain result or achievement on the other side, even if we arenāt aware of it or never intended there to be one.
Thatās the issue.
We spend most of our time ādoingā but to what end? Itās almost zombie like. Do we even stop to think āhold on a minute, is this generating any value for me?ā or āis what Iām doing now going to push me forward to my goal or just slow the process?ā.
I personally believe a lot of people lack this kind of awareness because society has been indoctrinated to just follow and donāt ask why.
Ever since I began asking these questions, I started to do things with intent and purpose. My productivity soon sky rocketed as I was saying no to a lot of things and saying yes to the ones that were time/value maximizing. Not to mention, I had more clarity and a clearer mind throughout the day.
Go from thisĀ ā¦
TO THIS!
Give it a go. Throughout the day, ask yourself.
āWhat am I going to gain or generate from having done this?ā
āIs there something else I could be doing with my time that is more valuable?ā
āBased on my goals, what is the one thing I can do right now that will get me one step closer to that goal?ā
Short post but that was the point. It wouldnāt make much sense if an article about time / value maximization was anything but that.
Hereās to a productive and goal smashing week!
