Completion October 21, 2008

This week, we are exploring completion of projects.  Clients are choosing one short-term, one medium-term and one long-term coaching project to complete.

Short term is defined as by this Friday, medium-term by Thanksgiving, and long-term by year’s end.

We’re discussing a variety of strategies that can be useful for completion.  One of the most effective is called “kaizen,” a Japanese word roughly translated into “Some daily progress, however small.”  Consider the logic:  putting positive attention on something daily will inevitably cause it to progress.

Now, imagine what would happen if we chose to be attentive for 15 minutes a day or an hour – some small, manageable number that we can fit into most days.  The actual results experienced by clients are astounding.  The most common surprise?

What needs to be done usually takes a far shorter time than originally thought.

Consider giving the strategy a try with a small amount of time applied daily.  Let us know how you’re doing.

For those of you who have not replied with  your goals, please do so today if possible.
