When's the Last Time This Happened to YOU?

 Let’s talk about rushing into things too fast and making avoidable mistakes. We’ve all done it. Heck, we tend to do it in most, if not all, areas of our lives. We rush to get ready in the morning and end up messing up our makeup or knocking the coffee all over the kitchen counter. We rush to get a report off to the boss and end up sending him the wrong file. We hurry up to get one more project finished around the house and end up making a wrong cut or skipping an important step early on in the assembly instructions. 

 What’s the common denominator in all those hypothetical examples? We messed up and we ended up spending a lot of time cleaning up the mess we made. In hindsight, it would have been much faster to slow down, take our time, and do it right the first time.  This was a lesson I learned after one of my first sewing experiences when I wasted my time, money, and fabric.

When We Rush, We Don’t Plan or Look Ahead 

It happens all the time. I've seen clients rush headlong into a new project thinking that they know what they're doing, only to find out down the road that they took a wrong turn early on. Or worse, you waste precious time on tasks you shouldn’t have been doing in the first place. For example, mopping the kitchen floor before you start to clean the top of the fridge is a waste of time. You end up mopping again after you raked all the dust and dirt off, with half of it ending up on the floor. 

 Can you think of a time when you messed up because you didn’t plan or look ahead? What can you do to learn from this? 

When We Rush, We Miss Things  

Why did you spill the coffee or lock yourself out of your own home? Because you missed something important (the cup on the counter or the keys stuck in the pocket of the pants you wore yesterday). It’s easy to miss things when you’re in a rush because you’re not paying as much attention as you should.  

Can you think of a time when you missed something important because you were rushing? What can you do to learn from this? 

When We Rush, We Overlook the Simplest Solution

Here’s something I’ve learned from my struggling clients: when you rush, you take the first or most obvious path. You do things the way you’ve always done them instead of stopping to see if there’s a better or easier solution. It often isn’t until someone like me points out that you could do something a different way with much less effort, that you notice your error. 

Can you think of a time when you overlooked an easier solution because you rushed? What can you do to learn from this? 

You've heard the saying, "If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll get the same results." It's amazing what happens when my clients get off the merry-go-round and we work together to come up with a strategic plan for their personal and professional growth. I often talk about Donna's success at returning to school to become an RN and Jean's success at making the lifestyle changes that have allowed her to have more energy, feel healthier, and release over 60lbs. because we can all learn from them. They took action by discovering clarity, purpose, and direction. We designed the individual strategic plans they needed to get the benefits they most desired, and together, we developed actionable steps that guided them on the PATHS towards living their Intentional Lives...and YOU CAN, TOO!
