Is All Your Running Paying Off?

Some days we can put in extraordinary effort, and get very little done. We just spin our wheels all day. We might as well be on a a stationary bike. Some of us do this more often than not. When this is the case, it’s important to dig a little deeper lest the pattern continues unchecked.   Did someone make us feel like we weren’t enough and were supposed to run around and accomplish endless tasks for them? Or maybe that same person believed that we just weren’t doing enough of anything, in general? Maybe it was our partner, our parents, our friend, etc.? We spent so much time trying to please these people that the behavior became ingrained in us. We got used to either trying to please someone that kept working to make us feel less than or trying to please someone who always wanted more…someone who had us convinced that we just weren’t good enough, someone who was never satisfied with anything we did for them.

On top of our past experiences, haphazardly running around is the modern way of life and if we find someone that is actually getting things done instead of running around in circles, it’s shocking! However, if we are wise, we ask them how they do it. The most frequent response one will get is “organization, a schedule and a system”. No matter why we go about life in this chaotic way, these 3 things are like gold. Implement all of them and witness the miracles you can create.
