Taking uncomfortable action!

Hey guys, I've just had an exciting, busy, scary, huge growth kind of week! I had joined this 5-day challenge with Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, and Russell Brunson. Woah, the mind is blown! Now you're probably thinking, "ya Doreen, those guys are professional, motivational, hype guys, and they are good at selling you a dream." The truth is, I already had the dream. I've been talking myself out of that dream for years. They are good at what they do, and I want to be just like them. I know I'm a late bloomer. They started really young, and I'm almost 50, but I don't care. I am taking the plunge. I am all in! If I fail, I will keep trying to the day I die. I'm done with the naysayers!! I'm done with not taking risks because I'm too scared of failing or what people will think. I will develop a successful business on motivational workshops and help people in addictions reach their full potential, and I'll do that by emulating the pros!! I know I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I'm ready. I'm ready to take action NOW!!

How to Streamline Your Daily Schedule and Increase Efficiency

Do you usually feel like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you need to do? Sometimes it seems like the laundry or the dishes will just have to wait until later. I know for me, when I let things accumulate, I get overwhelmed, and then I either don't do anything at all, or I look for a distraction, usually food or shopping. The thing still doesn't get done, and it's a perpetual cycle. That's why as hard as it is, we must do things when we need to. Otherwise, they don't get done at all. Or we find ourselves having to do them when we truly don’t have the time for them. Then, inevitably, something else has to be put off. This scenario also applies to work. When a project has a deadline, it’s important to devote all of your undivided attention to it, or it won't get completed. Time management is a critical aspect of every job – from planning to executing. Your schedule needs to be structured to support efficienc...
