PS. 04 If We Hurry, We Get More Done - True or False?

Published on: 10th May, 2023

Taken from the formiddable Mel Robbins, this shot of inspiration was triggered when she said, "It's not about getting more done - it's about a level of acceptance about where you are."

How many times have you sped up in a bid to get more done?


🙋‍♀️ Guilty as charged!


In this episode, I map this concept to how we need to give ourselves permission to let things go at times, always remembering that it doesn't need to be forever.

Ep 6 Streamlining & Automating



Soundbites:


"Now this can be scary. What if you're missing out on business opportunities?  Or missing out on potential clients and won't be able to get them again when you're ready? But that's where acceptance comes in."


"And that's the thing, your situation doesn't have to be dramatic for you to feel overwhelmed, but accepting that you're letting go of something for good reason and that it's just temporary, is a powerful way to reduce overwhelm."


"If you're feeling overwhelmed, letting go can certainly have an impact, but so can things like streamlining process, automating and delegating."


Enjoy :-)
