Stop Spinning in Place

Have you ever had weeks that feel like this? Tasks get sideways, and suddenly it feels like things are spinning out of control. One minute, there’s calm, and the next, priorities collide; new projects, client follow-ups, and content deadlines need our attention. Throw in a dash of unexpected events, and well, now it’s really exciting. Sometimes the number of decisions we need to make keeps us stuck in place. Reviewing, second-guessing. Left unchecked, our thinking can easily spin with indecision, but here’s a happier alternative.

Take one next step. Putting yourself in motion cuts the drama because now you’ve taken action. Remind yourself, this is the best next step with what I know today. Learn to move forward calmly and quickly, then execute and evaluate your plan.

Keep your focus forward and off constantly rehashing options. (My brain loves a good rehashing, so just know this takes practice.)

If you determine a change is necessary, then make that next decision. In six months, after taking one step each day, note the evidence of your massive action and that you’ve learned a ton. You’re a different, smarter person - be proud of that!

The savvy CEO you’re becoming does not lose large chunks of time and mental energy spinning in place; you are in motion, deciding and recalibrating while moving closer to your goals.
