LEARN
Leaders with a Mentor Mindset know they need to be on TOP of their time in order to be a success. They Track their past, Organize their present, and Plan their future. They guide those they lead to stay on TOP of time as well.
DO
Track your past – Somewhere between the high chair and the office chair we may have forgotten how to really celebrate our accomplishments. The trap is in quickly dismissing what we did accomplish and then setting the bar even higher. This leaves no time to acknowledge and lock in our growing capacity for success. Let’s wash off that success as quick as we can and start all over again. Crazy, right? It is important to get back to celebrating our wins. Track your wins and learnings on a daily basis. If it is true that we become what we think about most and that what we focus on expands, then why wouldn’t we keep track and acknowledge our goodness?
Organize the present – The quality of our life’s experience is in direct proportion to our ability to handle uncertainty. Know where things go and know where you are going and you will experience certainty in abundance. Have a place for anything that comes into your experience physically or electronically. If you don’t have a place, create a place. If you can’t create a place, toss it. If it is meant to be with you then you will make the space for it. Your not being able to think of how to create the space is your internal way of getting yourself to toss it. Trust it.
Schedule your day by being clear on where you need to go today and why you need to go there. Go there and be there with intention.
Have certainty and make a list with whom you need to connect via phone, email, or in person and why.
Be thankful for your blessings and good fortune. Take a minute to write it or type it. Imagine what will make today a great day to remember. Plug that in as well.
Plan your future – Check in and create an intentional and compelling future for yourself. i.e., have a vision. You have a vision for yourself whether you purposely created it or not. The way to check that out is if you feel inspired you most likely created it consciously. If you are feeling expired, chances are you let your negative environments slip one in on you while you were not paying attention. From your vision notice what projects you need to complete during the next 12 months. Which ones are necessary to execute this month. Write down the actions needed to be executed within those projects in the weeks and days of your calendar
