Enthusiasm, keenness, optimism, commitment are all wonderful attributes and there are many other words to describe a person’s manner – especially goal orientated people – but without deadlines – mostly wasted attributes.
We all need deadlines. It gives us a true sense of now. Without deadlines that not so good attribute will present itself!!! Procrastination!!
It is one thing to ponder what to do with the rest of your life – especially knowing you will never have as much time again or be as young again – but you must also decide when!
Execution is achievement and deadlines an absolute must!
A deadline is a commitment that can be measured. By linking with time, we create urgency, which creates energy. We want to ensure we achieve our goals and one more step would be to also communicate when and where the doing of supports the achievement in the period indicated.
Today’s Challenge: what decisions today would be better off with a deadline.
Are there things you wanted to achieve such as weight loss but continue to fail to do? Maybe it was to pay off a credit card or even make some changes at work. Write them down and attach a time and make it a challenge.
Today let us think about what we can achieve by days end and what we can start by days end.
Let us commit ourselves to achieving more things within a timeframe so we can create some enthusiastic urgency back in our lives
