Do you think that it is possible to change your life in only 30 days? Of course not if you want to change every single aspect. But if you concentrate on the core areas - those that will have the largest influence on your life -, you will be able to make a huge difference in only 30 days.
So basically, you apply the 80-20-principle to the whole thing to concentrate your efforts on what really matters.
What are the 80-20-tasks that would influence your life the most if you put up the effort to make a real difference there?
For me, for example, what will make the greatest difference is to form habits for the recurring tasks in my life, so that I free ressources to work on my dreams.
For tomorrow, I ask you to think about the following question: If I had to concentrate on just one change to my current life, what would that single change be?
Perhaps it helps to list all areas of your life and the changes you feel you should make in each area, and then decide where to start. If you still can’t decide, because several possible changes seem equally important, follow your intuition. Perhaps you decide for your weakest area, or you go for the easiest transition first, or the one that inspires you the most.
If you still, can’t decide, throw a coin or roll a dice.
Will this lead to the best choice? Perhaps not. But even the second or third best choice will be better than no choice at all.
What if your choice proves to be wrong? At least, you gain experience, and even the wrong choice is better than no choice.
During the next time, I’m going to show you how to best prepare for the transition, and then we will be able to go for it as a group.
