Getting Back on Track | Just Do The Thing
On Your Marks…
The most critical hour in your day is the first one. It could be 5-6am or 12-1pm, makes no difference. Your Thing does not need you to be a morning person. However, it does need to see evidence of your Thingly intentions pretty early on, within about 59.0265 minutes of consciousness or thereabouts.
It doesn’t take much. Just setting your Top 3 Most Important Tasks each day is enough. Best to do this when you’re fresh anyway, before you get caught up in the day.
If you can’t or don’t get some intention into your first hour, it’s not the end of the world. But it is very likely the end of your momentum. Sure, you can try to pick it up later, but you’re doing it the hard way and your Thing knows the difference.
If your Thing doesn’t inspire you to get up in the morning (or whenever it is that do you get up), that’s a big clue. It’s likely time to re-evaluate The Thing that you’re doing. Check back with Something Attractive and see if it helps.
