Hi everyone,
Steve recommends focusing on the important group 3 activities and letting group one and two ones go. I agree but have a question. My experience is many, perhaps most, of my current group three goals started out as group two activities. My group two activities, in turn, often started out as group one activities.
Something like this:
Group one
"I know I should be studying for an important accounting exam but I think I'll read this article about makeup instead."
Leading to:
Group two
"I know I should be studying for an important accounting exam but I think I'll go to the party some of my esthetician friends are throwing tonight instead."
Leading to:
Group three
"Accounting was boring me senseless. I'm so glad I have contacts in the esthetics field since I've got several job offers working in spas. Now let me figure out which one I'll take."
My point is group one and two activities may serve an important role in helping us decide which group three things are important and to do better with them.
Or group one and two activities can waste time avoiding working on group three activities.
How do we know when the appropriate time is to drop group one and two activities? Too soon and we lose out on future opportunity. Too late and we do so as well.
