  • Consequences:Emotional: how you feel about the activating event;
    Behavioural: what you do / how you react to the activating event.

4. Make informed choices & stop complaining

Most of the decisions we take are reversible. Some of them easily reversible, some of them more difficult to change. But reversible, nonetheless.

"If you canā€™t take it anymore, you change it. Complaining is not an option and youā€™re not paying me to pity you. Itā€™s in your power and your power only to change somethingā€

6. Focus on things that are in your control

Do we have a problem? Whatā€™s the solution?Ā 

If we donā€™t have a solution and we cannot change things, then we donā€™t have a problem. Itā€™s just the status quo and weā€™ll learn to live with it.Ā 

Stressing out wonā€™t make things better ā€“ it will just make you feel miserable and youā€™re not going to be able to focus on what really matters.Ā 

And thatā€™s the problems that you can actually solve and the things that you have the power to change.

8. Pick the battles to fight. Wisely

Ask yourself a set of questions before engaging in any activity:

  • Does spending time on this bring me closer to my goal? Personal or professional, it works wonders every time. If the answer is no, just donā€™t.
  • Can I do something else to help me reach my goal faster or more effective? If yes, than do that instead.
  • Last, but definitely not least, does it bring you joy? And yes, this is very important, because if it does, itā€™s definitely worth doing ā€“ itā€™s something you do for yourself.

9. Respect yourself and your time

Divide all your commitments into 4 different buckets, based on their importance and urgency:

  1. Do now ā€“ things that are both important and urgent.
  2. Plan ahead ā€“ things that are important, but donā€™t require your immediate attention.
  3. Delegate ā€“ urgent issues that are not that important.Ā 
  4. Donā€™t do. Never ā€“ issues that are neither urgent, nor important, like taking that sales call for a product youā€™re not interested in buying or meeting over coffee with a person you have nothing to talk about.Ā

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
