Push any project forward in just 10 minutes

Dear Essentialists,?

Have you ever been amazed at what you are able to accomplish in a short amount of time with a burst of focused energy?

Maybe it was cleaning up the house before company arrived, or making progress on an important report.?

April Peery, co-founder of the organization brand?Learn | Do | Become, calls these moments of intense activity microbursts. A microburst helps you make real progress on important projects and priorities.

The power of a microburst is found in focusing on small steps that make a big difference.?

When we act, we begin to see the results of that action. Our confidence grows and we gain momentum. This momentum leads us to the next obvious step, then the next, and then the next.?

The progress we make during these short bursts of energy makes the project more manageable.

And because our energy output was short but focused, we are far less likely to suffer from exhaustion and burnout.

To really benefit from this strategy, use it as an intentional part of your day and not just when you’re up against a deadline.?

What problem can you apply the microburst strategy to today? Spend 10 high-energy minutes on that project today.?

“Nothing [...] will ever be attempted if all possible objections must be first overcome.” ― Samuel Johnson In gratitude,? Greg ?
