Identify your single most important task each day and finish it before lunch. The host explains how this builds momentum and cuts through busy-work fatigue, using a personal example of recording a video to show how it works.
Morning, everyone. Welcome to start your day with a coach, the show where we talk about daily habits to help you succeed and perform and feel amazing. Right? That's really what we're trying to accomplish today. On today's show, we're going to be talking about completing the number one thing that's really important to you before lunch. Because if you've ever spent a day checking things off your to do list, getting things done, and at the end, you felt exhausted and. And you felt like you were still behind the ball, like it didn't matter how much you did, you were not advancing the projects and goals that you had really wanted to, then this show is for you. So if, you know, we can feel like we're productive, but if we don't feel like we're making progress on the important goals, the important missions, the important purposes and projects, then we kind of start to feel restless. We start to doubt ourselves. Maybe you've done so much for your family, for your team, for your career, and you're like, I just. There's not enough time in the day to get stuff done. And it can be really disheartening when you're in that zone. And a lot of it. Like, if this sounds familiar to you, would you agree that maybe you're doing busy work and not your life's work? And I love that phrase. I got that from one of my mentors. But what if we could feel proud of our accomplishments at the end of the day? Like, our efforts advanced our lives in a meaningful way, in a way that was building the life that we really wanted. So if we want to feel like we're moving forward with Mino, we first need to know what our daily number one thing is each day. Right. So usually part of a morning ritual, you do some type of planning, maybe you have a calendar, you already know what's kind of going on and knowing, like, the major thing or things, right? If you have multiple projects, but the one thing, no matter what, by the end of the day, needs to move forward to get a little bit momentum, to move the football forward, as they say, which just means a little bit of progress. Inches, maybe a couple feet. If we can do that every day and we have enough days of that forward momentum, that's when projects get complete. That's when we feel like we're moving forward. We feel like we're advancing. We feel like we have control, directing our efforts and that our efforts matter. And that's the whole reason why this is super important. So if you'd like your daily work to feel like it mattered more, to inspire you to continue on, to make sure, you know, just make sure you know that the daily mission, what it is every day and accomplish it before lunch if you can. Right? If you do it first thing. So the number one thing I have to do today is some videos that I've been putting off. So I'm going to do one video and as long as that's done, the day is good and but every time I've done this, I find that I just want to keep going. So what's your number one thing? Can you do it before lunch or can you do it in the next couple hours to make sure that you're advancing those things that are important to you, that help you feel like you're advancing your life. So I hope you like this. Please. This is a lot of what I talk about in my one on one coaching. So again, as I say, quite a bit. If you're interested in learning a little bit more about that, go to shabbatner.com coaching fill out the questionnaire if you are looking for a little bit of clarity on how you can be more clear on what you got to do and how to structure that into your day. Because I know everyone has a lot of different variables going on. So the idea is solid. How it lands in your life could be a little bit different and tricky and sometimes you just need someone to bounce some ideas off to figure that out. So with that said folks, see you tomorrow and take care.
