Bear with me for a moment, as it does involve adding to your to-do list&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>As a self-management remedy, I recommend that you add to your to-do list several items each day that make you feel secure and confident.<\/h2>\n<p>This is because we are more productive when we feel <a href=\"https:\/\/internalgroove.com\/2023dev\/choices-from-right-place\/\">secure and confident<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, rather than engaging in extras that impede your ability to accomplish the things on your list, I\u2019m proposing that you add items that will actually increase your ability to accomplish your goals.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel refreshed, clear, and more functional after taking a 20 minute walk in nature, put that on your to-do list for the day.<br \/>\nThat simple act will make all the other actions you take for the day more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because, negative self-talk invites you to engage in a combative dialogue with yourself. That resistance requires energy&#8230; and time.<\/p>\n<p>If you, instead, plan for activities that override this tendency, you essentially reserve and reroute that energy for completing the tasks on your list.<\/p>\n<p>And the bonus is\u2026 you <a href=\"https:\/\/internalgroove.com\/2023dev\/seriously-productive\/\">have a positive attitude<\/a> while you\u2019re doing it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have specific work challenges in this unusual time, questions about options for navigating something you\u2019ve not encountered before or simply need a shoulder for some extra support, I am here for you so please consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timetrade.com\/book\/FFSDS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">booking a private phone consultation<\/a>.
