Making decisions, sending emails, saying 'no,' setting boundaries... it can all be daunting at times. It's good to have people to call on; people who have "been there, done that." Sometimes we need to borrow someone else's backbone to send that email or to say 'no.' Sometimes we need some external motivation or "skin in the game" to make sure we follow through with what we actually want!

Your perspective during challenging times is what will determine how you feel when you come out on the other side. When we talk about it in terms of the Coronavirus crisis, we have to be attentive to our mindset and perspective. If we can focus on finding opportunity amidst the struggle and ask "what CAN I do right now," instead of focusing on the negative and what we CAN'T do, we'll be better off in the short & long term!

Time is the NUMBER ONE excuse we often hear when people don't get something done or are having a hard time working toward/reaching a goal. But it's not about the time. It's about the willingness to ACCEPT an excuse, HOW you use your time and the SECONDARY GAINS you get when you FOLLOW THROUGH with your schedule. If you're working on reorganizing your priorities and holding yourself accountable, this one's for you!
