What's YOUR Barrier?

Posted by Diana Muzzall on February 20, 2020 at 8:06am in Just for Fun

3874166563?profile=RESIZE_710xI don't know about you, but I have a list - a list of things to do. On that list, there's always one thing that gets put off - it's easy to find excuses not to do it.

In my line of work, I often hear phrases like "I know I should be doing video, but..." and "My social media could be so much more effective if I use video, but...".

So, I'm curious - what's your ", but..."?

    I think my honest answer would be loss of confidence. 

    I have great services to offer and love it when I help someone to engage (further) with them, but FEAR (False Expectations Appearing Real) USED to stop me picking up the phone. 

    There is much I want to achieve, a life full of choices for myself and as many others who choose to engage with me. 

    So Diana, and others, expect a call soon :-)

    Oh, I love a to do list - I think I have about 3 on my desk at the moment.

    I don't really have a, but.... But - I procrastinate A LOT and get distracted by social media. My plan with social media is to go on, reply to comments and messages and then continue my work (normally photo editing - which I don't particulary enjoy doing), unfortunately more often than not I end up scolling aimlessly for a while and wasting precious time...

    I'm going to check out the book Iain recommended, it sounds interesting!

    Hi Diana, 

    A very interesting discussion point! 

    I once suffered from this - I have improved but still not a productivity master. A great book I read to help me with this is "eat that frog" I advise all my management team to read it and they have certainly benefitted from it. 

     

    I also try and allocate jobs to a specific time within my schedule rather than use a list - This does mean my calender does become very full but it does mean that I can focus in on my tasks to complete.

      ooo, I'm going to pop that book on my wishlist. Thanks Iain!

    IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION, DIANA! I LOVE TO DO LISTS, ALWAYS HAVE, AND FOR A LONG TIME I USED TO HATE THEM BECAUSE I COULD SEE FAILURE INSTEAD OF SUCCESS WHEN I COULDN'T ACCOMPLISH THEM. BUT, ONE DAY I JUST DECIDED THAT NO MORE "BUTS", I SIMPLY LOVE TO DO LISTS! :)

      I love your discipline Mariana! There’s hope for us all yet! Have a great weekend

    But I'm to tired, or But theres not enough hours in the day, or my favourite, But its not my job!- Last one is not one of my own, but one I hear all to often. 

    • Diana Muzzall > Scott Russell February 20, 2020 at 11:17am

      There never seems to be enough hours in the day does there Scott! And for those who think it's "not my job" - they should try being self-employed!!!
