Lots of options. Lots of things you could in the coming year to reach your goals.
Which one should you choose?
Should you work on Project A or Project B? Should you overhaul your website or start a newsletter? Should you work on meeting new professional contacts or write a book? If you have more than one book idea which one should you choose?
You’ve only got so much time and so much energy. How do you decide?
Everything on your list is important and valuable. In making your list, you gave a lot of thought to these options and you want to do all of them.
“I have the entire year,” you say. “I will do them all.” Maybe. Remember last year at this time? All of your ideas and plans? How many did you accomplish? How many did you start?
So don’t count on anything. Don’t bit off more than you can chew.
Instead of planning to everything on your list, choose one thing and do that. When you complete it, you can decide what to do next.
Okay. Which one should you do?
The easiest?
The most challenging?
The one with the highest payoff?
Should you stop listening to me ramble, pick something, and get on with it?
No. Do this: relax, close your eyes, and imagine it is the middle of next year. Look back at the time that has passed and where you are at that time. Think about your list of projects. Which one would you be most disappointed about not completing?
Choose that one.
The possibility of regret for not doing something will bring everything into focus. Whatever you are contemplating–work projects, career choices, schools, partnerships, where to live, when to retire, or any other important decision, unless there is a compelling, logical reason to move something to the top of your list, let your subconscious mind choose for you.
Once you choose, start immediately and don’t second guess your choice. Your subconscious mind is never wrong.
