Wake up. No time to faff around. Exercise. Get ready. Go to work. Get an irritatingly incomplete portion of your to-do list done.
Have some lunch. Shoot the breeze for a bit. Get some more work done. Pack up.
Go home. Get dinner sorted. Clean. Reset. Relax. Bed.
Rinse.
Repeat.
Our lives are a repeating cycle of habits, behaviours, choices and obligations. And, for many of us, we keep pounding out the miles, inching ahead and building a better life – for ourselves and our families.
There’s a deep, meaningful value in that.
But it can also be hard as hell.
Now, what if there were some – relatively straightforward – ways for you to make that journey a little bit easier? Make that hill a little less steep?
Well – this is what I realized in a conversation Nathan and I had with Vanessa Bennett, of Next Evolution Performance.
There are things you can do – simple things, where the only requirement is taking the time to reflect on what you want and need.
Vanessa explained a few areas she thinks people could target to take their performance up a notch or two:
- An elementary awareness of neuroscience and how it shapes you, your day and your performance.
- Kicking multi-tasking to the curb, and learning what Constant Partial Attention is.
- The vital, critical, powerful impact of clarity in your life and your career – and why ambiguity is corroding your business from the inside.
Vanessa’s firm – Next Evolution Performance – has helped a broad range of people define the life they want, the performance they need to achieve that, and what’s getting in their way.
