HELP!
How to Navigate Through Life’s
Hectic
Responsibilities
Recently
I received an email from one of my clients - let’s call her Suzanne. She mentioned that she was extremely
overwhelmed in her life and needed to set a time to meet with me.
Suzanne’s
exact words were, “I am trying to figure this all out..... It seems I am making time for
everything but not making time for me!!!! My schedule has been crazy
busy and I have been out of the office more than in!!! Jenn, I am feeling
pulled in many directions. Having THINK
TIME...... to soul search and redefine is more important to me than trying to
fill up every hour in my day. I can’t continue living like this! Can you help?”
This
is not the first time I have heard this concern. And it was the desperate nature of her cry
for help that inspired me to develop a process to help my clients navigate through
their overwhelming life responsibilities.
I know the process will continue to evolve. I have identified 7 steps.
The 7-Steps to Move Your Hectic Life
from Frenzy to Freedom
1. What exactly are you doing? List every life/business responsibility you currently
have.
2. Prioritize. List your
responsibilities from the most important to the least important.
3. Where does the time go? Determine how much time you spend or want to spend on
each responsibility.
4. Add them up. What is the total number of hours you are currently
spending on your complete list of responsibilities?
5. Evaluate. Analyze each
responsibility thoroughly. Determine
what pieces and parts can be delegated and which activities need a more
efficient system to run more effectively.
6. Eliminate. If the total
number of hours you determined in step 4 is more than you can handle without
stress – even after delegation or system creation (step 5) – then it's time to
start eliminating. Begin with the least important responsibilities and move up
to the most important. Eliminate until the total number of hours is doable and
supports and inspires you and your dreams.
7. Game Plan. Now that you have
eliminated, delegated and/or set up systems, it’s time to set goals within each
responsibility. Address one
responsibility at a time. Choose a time frame – 2-4 weeks – to work on the
first area and then move on to the next.
Make sure all of your choices, actions and goals align with your values
and your life mission. Use accountability to keep you on track.
