How To Become An Outstanding Person In Life

If you want to become an outstanding person in your life, you must focus on getting better everyday. When you get better today, your tomorrow will be better than your today.

Getting better is about taking care of what is truly yours, what is truly important to you. It is about loving where you are, no matter what.

It is about loving your life, no matter what is going in your life. It is about putting yourself first, not last. It is believing in yourself that you can change your life, that you are in charge of your life.

According to David Cottrell and Robert Nix, ‘Being indispensable demands that you exhibit the courage to decide to spend time and resources on the factors that are within your control. Take control over what you can, and accept that some things are beyond your control, but do the best you can with them. Never give up improving the things that you can control.’

‘The first step to becoming indispensable is to see yourself as that person and to act as though you are indispensable already. Beginning today, act on your positive vision and begin separating yourself from your competition.’

‘Your challenge is not finding time. Your challenge is creating personal discipline.’

‘Becoming indispensable begins with a crystal-clear understanding of what you are trying to accomplish.’

‘If you want to become the Indispensable person, your goals must have an action plan that begins right now.’

‘You are cheating yourself if you go through a day without learning something new.’

‘The indispensable person is well organized and under control and transmits a confident appearance.’

‘The indispensable person is solution-oriented and focuses on unraveling the problem and creating some viable alternatives.’

‘The Indispensable people are transformers! They make change a positive experience for everyone around them.’

‘The Indispensable person does not try to impress with big words, long sentences, or verbose statements. The Indispensable person communicates clearly, concisely, and to the point.’

‘The Indispensable people choose not to inflict the poison of negative attitudes on themselves. Instead, they choose to be positive and enthusiastic.’

‘The Indispensable person gives away knowledge by sharing with others.’

How To Reclaim Your Time

‘Is your life doomed to endless task switching?’

If you are not getting things done, you are not spending your time wisely. If you want to change it, ask yourself, ‘What do I want to get done right now? What is important to me right now?’

Remember, how you use your time is your choice. If you want to do well, use your time to do good things.

To reclaim your time, according to Richie Norton, ‘You can make your work commitment support your personal ones. Your personal life doesn’t have to be sacrificed on the altar of your work.’

‘Purpose before process, not process before purpose.’

‘Flexibility isn’t your boss’s gift to give. You must create it yourself- even if you are your own boss.’

‘Good things happen not by managing time but by prioritizing attention.’

‘You don’t have to work toward your dreams when you work from them. Whether you work for someone else or yourself, you can master your time.’

‘If you value your time, your life will match your values.’

‘How you measure your future success has a massive impact on how you choose to live today.’

‘Make your time relevant to your dreams.’

‘If you want to reclaim your life, start by reclaiming your time.’

‘It’s not always about changing what you prioritize but how and when you make priorities matter.’

‘Align purpose to establish priorities and create projects for work-life flexibility.’

‘Make room for more time by acknowledging where time got you, what you want to do with your time in the future, and working on it now.’

Happy Monday! Start your week off with some ideas about how to NOT get "hijacked" but your own thoughts and feelings. Give my writing a whirl, if you haven't tried it yet. It may change your life--and I am just getting started. Did I mention I am on Substack now? Some things will be duplicated there from Wordpress--but not everything. https://substack.com/@wordsmith25112

How To Boost Your Productivity At Work

Productivity is not about what you are doing. Productivity is about how you are doing what you are doing. If you want to achieve more at work, focus on what matters.

If you want to boost your productivity at work, according to Laura Mae Martin, ‘Say no to everything, except the things you say yes to.’

‘To achieve Uptime, you must prioritize downtime.’

‘Pick something that’s sitting in your inbox or weighing on you that you’d like to say no to.’

‘Keep a notepad at your desk for two weeks. Anytime you’re feeling in the zone- exceptionally productive- write down some of the conditions. Notice patterns.’

‘Be in charge of your day, not at a mercy of it.’

‘Choosing specific locations for specific tasks helps you ease into them.’

‘Beware the recurring meeting that lingers on your calendar even after it has served its purpose.’

‘Choose a lens for looking at your calendar with the time review mindset.’

‘Spend thirty minutes or less reviewing your time to look at things like total time spent or average weekly time.’

‘The best way to get ahead of procrastination is to make sure you’re slotting the right work at the right time.’

‘Find a task you’ve been putting of-ask yourself what daily theme and time of day would be the best time to do this and schedule to work on it then.’

‘Swiss-chess the task down to the tiniest task possible, and write that as your to-do list item, including the amount of time estimated to complete it.’
