A few days ago I told you about my chocolate discovery and how it has given me thoughts about productivity. Today I wanted to share another thought.
Questions to Consider
Do you question the systems that you put into place?
Do you second guess yourself after a short period of time?
Why do you do that?
Chocolate Reflection
So, I opened a milk chocolate from Dove and read: FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS
How often do you take stock in your situation and determine that you need to make some changes, only to second guess yourself later? Usually your instincts are correct on some level, but we don't give ourselves enough time to develop a solid habit.
Body Doubling
Judith Kohlberg’s book What Every Professional Organizer Needs to Know About Chronic Disorganization - is one of our industries leading resources on working with different types of people. In her book, one technique she discusses is to "body double."
Many people need someone there when they work on a project. They need the reassurance of another person. This particular type of consulting and support is one of the most difficult to complete successfully.
It is based on the fact that some clients know what needs to be done, but do not know that they know! By being there and reassuring the client, they are able to follow their instincts and get a LOT more done.
You can find it here for about $13. http://tinyurl.com/4fbrg7
Your Turn!
Do you follow your instincts as often and you think you should? Have you ever not followed your instincts and then regretted it? I'm interested in what you think of this concept. Please share your thoughts in the comment section of my blog! It is at the bottom of every post.
To your success!
