We waste time, all the time. I realized something that was obvious recently, combination. What if during the idle time, it was combined with productive things. Adding something beneficial, frankly is beneficial. Mini goals on the side! I have tried treadmill and TV, doesn’t work for me, walking needs to be outside in my mind. There are a ton of things that don’t work, be sure to mix it up and choose things that do work. Ambition and approach, sounds simple enough. If you are a go getter and just do, well you already have this. The planners, overthinkers, dreamers, get delayed.

Note to yourself three things for today, for the week and for the month. Choose things for yourself, something specific you want. Today I need to exercise, paint a garden object that goes outside and make banana bread. This week I want to regain all my yoga poses, prep yard for summer and complete a declutter project I have started. This month I need to have the smallest room in the house redone, have all the outdoor spaces complete for summer and regain complete body strength. They are all building towards month end. The daily and weekly are simple blocks to build towards the end result. I can think of several ways that I could combine the tasks while I watch TV or scroll FB. The projects cost me nothing unless I want them to. I have everything I need to do them. I have to get the ambition and keep the momentum.

If you want to learn a new skill, plan a vacation, or build relationships, do it in threes. Loading on extra, diminishes the focus. Just bits, itty bitty bits. The three daily help you step closer to the weekly. The weekly helps you see where you are at and what needs to be done for the monthly. It is a theory, one of many, but a willingness to try is all you need.
