Batching

When you are working at your best, when you’re in ‘flow’, then keep going.

If you have just written a blog and it came with real inspiration, then write another and another.

If you’re in the swing and recording a podcast, do another.

If you just made a call and it got the desired outcome, make another.

This way you get ahead when you’re ‘on fire’ and then when you’re not at your best you’re either ahead and it won’t matter or you have a blog up your sleeve or episode done of your podcast.

Work when you’re at your best and when you’re struggling sometimes, then go do something else as you’re ahead.

Batch at your best and stay ahead.

The fall of dripping water wears away the stone

That was written by Lucretius the Roman poet and philosopher and aptly describes why taking small tiny steps constantly day in, day out, is the route to achieving what we aim for in life.

If you took a giant sledgehammer to a huge rock face you would be there an awfully long time before you’d break or wear anything. You would wear yourself out quicker than the rock and give up.

However, a small tiny trickle of water over time can wear away something that is so hard to break with a hammer.

Don’t wear yourself out, be committed, be patient and good things will come.

What we do now shapes our future, but we have to wait and keep doing it.
