KEY TAKEAWAYS
Overwhelm can mean ‘drowning beneath a huge massive something’. It happens when you have too many options presented to you. This could be a positive or negative thing depending on your capabilities and resources. Before you decide on what to do next, focus on your Key Result Areas (KRA) and key income-generating areas which will act as your basis. Nick learned the practice of being present by meditation. This maintains a healthy psychological and emotional state. Being present can help you be calm, be focused, and be ready for the tasks that you need to do regularly. How to Stay Focused (Step-by-step): Get everything listed down on paper—not on your laptop, tablet, or phone, on paper! You need to be clear on your outcomes. What are you trying to achieve? Why do you want it? Neil suggests you start with the results, then the way towards them would be easy to build. Write out all the options. Know the consequences. There will be upsides and downsides for each option—write them down. What is the outcome if I take this option? How important from 0 to 10 are each upside and the downside to meeting my outcome? What is the probability that each upside and downside can occur? What are the emotional benefits of the outcome? Damage mitigation. Of the remaining options, look at how you can eliminate or lessen the downsides.BEST MOMENTS
