Uncertain Time Allocation

Happy Monday!

Starting life over at 40 has been a wild ride - moving across the country, publishing a book, and switching industries have all presented their own set of challenges and opportunities.?

But with each new and uncomfortable step, I can't help but ask myself:?

Am I spending my time on the right thing??

I’m working a lot.

But I can’t help but wonder if I’m working on the right things.?

I think this is a common dilemma - especially when working on something new.?

New uncertainty can lend itself to self-doubt.?

But the truth is, without taking action, that new endeavor has no chance for growth.

So when doubt creeps in, I turn to my checklist:?

• Does this action take me one step closer to where I want to be?
• Does this action align with my values and beliefs?
• Does this action bring me joy??
• Is this action a priority for this season of my life?
• Is this action the most pressing action?
• Does this action positively impact me and those I care about?
• Does this action challenge me?
• Does this action promote my personal or professional growth??

Usually, just answering one of these questions gives me clarity around the task at hand.?

Because the alternatives…

• doing nothing,
• avoiding,
• making excuses,
• blaming,
• playing the victim,
• or waiting for someone to save me?

- only lead to missed opportunities and regret.?

So the new question becomes:?uncertain action or certain stagnation??

Until next week,

Chad
