What No One Will Tell You About Preparation

I’ve always wondered why in every aspect of life does it take an enormous amount of time to prepare for a goal or an event. Why does a thirty minute talk take more than eight hours to construct? Or why does it take more than four hours to write a blog post which will be digested in a matter of minutes?

The motivation to pursue our ambitions will increase once we understand what is happening…

How to achieve your goals by using your task list more effectively

How to become less busy by using your task list more effectively

A task list is paramount to our productivity. We must treat it as daily guide in a world where a phone signal and wi-fi connection mean that almost anyone can start a conversation with us whether we are busy or unconscious.

A task list, when used effectively, can reveal the number of battles we have yet to fight and can measure how well we are progressing in our responsibilites and long term…

How to Stop Drowning in a Sea of To Do's

How to Stop Drowning in a Sea of To Do’s

You know that feeling – an overwhelming sense that your workload has suddenly pushed you into a place of overload. It’s when you have so much to do and a twelve hour day brings even more challenges for you to partake in, compounding your list of to do’s, as well as your blood pressure.

Drowning in a list of responsibilities is certainly not a nice feeling. It can bring on a sense of overwhelm…

Three Things You Ought To Know About Reviewing Your Goals

Three Things You Ought To Know About Reviewing Your Goals

Setting goals is the easy part. It’s when we review and monitor them that we reassess whether they are actually worth pursuing. This is where we need to pour a gigantic amount of effort and skill into.

You see, we can set goals for many reasons. Those reasons should provide a definite motivation, they should have attached to them a result that we truly want to see, and so the reviewing process…

What I Wish I Knew About My Career As A Fresh Graduate

I finally graduated. Within the next two months I was presented with what looked like an incredible job opportunity at an assessment centre in the Marriott hotel. Four weeks later, once I had landed the job, I was swished off for two days of training with overnight stays at the Premier Inn.

My incredible opportunity however, turned out to be a fifty hour minimum work week, filled with tight time…

Why Reading Will Make You Remarkable

Why Reading Will Make You Remarkable

Each book has a set of answers contained inside. In fact, our most common problems can be explained quite simply in the text printed on each page. So why don’t we read more? Well, for some us reading an entire book has the equivalent entertainment value as waiting in the doctors surgery while being coughed on by two people sitting on either side of us. Or, we simply find reading too time…

Treat 'Time' Like Your Personal Butler

Treat ‘Time’ Like Your Personal Butler

Let us move away from our hateful relationship with time, watching the clock scornfully as if it has the ulterior motive to see our downfall. We constantly rush around to get as much completed as quickly as possible, as if time were our arch enemy, chasing us with a handgun. Instead, we must change our perception of time because what we believe, becomes our reality. We should now see time as…

Planning is the Root of all Achievement

Planning is the root of all achievement

Life is a series of plans which have been created and then executed. Whether we, our parents, employers and even total strangers have made plans for us, we are living out that blueprint and dealing with the associated consequences.

The idea of planning is to prepare ourselves for a life that we wish to create. It is the act of creating a simulated version of reality on paper and consequently…

It's Not About Talent. It's About Consistency

It’s Not About Talent. It’s About Consistency

Your talent is an extra dose of ability in a given area of your life. When you use it, it feels like a custom made suit, perfect for your body shape. It’s the potential which others notice in you and they comment in admiration. Your talent, however, is only the foundation from which to build something greater.

In order to develop your talent into something which is truly exceptional, something…

To Be Successful, You Need An Obsession

To Be Successful, You Need An Obsession

You have an obsession when an idea takes over your thoughts and decides not to budge from your conscience. There are times, however, that this idea will willingly step back and allow other thoughts to move to the forefront of your mind. But almost predictably this obsessive idea will bully its way back to the front.

Now I am not advocating morally, inhumane or downright horrendous ideas. What I…

Achieve your 2015 goals by transforming your existing habits

Achieve your 2015 goals by transforming your existing habits

Our actions become habits once they have been repeated regularly. To save unnecessary thinking space, our brain performs these repeated activities automatically. So now, we suddenly become Robocop with the habit embedded into our code, except we are also the programmer who put it there to begin with.

Now according to scientific research, our habits cannot be eradicated, they can only be…

Challenge Me To Productivity Experiments (1-4 weeks long!)

Do all these time management/goals/productivity advice really work? Well, as of next week I'll be conducting a series of experiments (on myself!) ranging from 1-4 weeks long. It will be a chance for you to give me a challenge! The first suggestion has been for me to sleep for 4 hours a night like Margret Thatcher to increase my time and productivity during the day. Can you think of anymore?
