You lasted 1 week, however you should make that for four weeks, if you pass this mark, it'll be in your system until you stop!  . |
So far, I'm actually glad I didn't keep going with that. I wrote about why on my blog post
Doing Your Best vs Focusing on Less. When I stepped back and looked at what I wanted to do, there were two things - push myself and build habits that would last long-term.
I was kind of torn between what route to take. I had read about Steve finishing college in three semesters and his different productivity articles and I wanted to try pushing myself to that level, but I've also read
The Power of Less and visit
Zen Habits where he talks about focusing on less and taking it one step at a time. I had my day wide open so I was wondering which of the two ways I should go with it.
When I tried doing "less" and focusing on doing one goal at time (20 minutes visualizing every day) I always felt like I could do way more. When I tried taking on 7 goals for the 30-day trial I felt overwhelmed and stressed (not in a good way) because my focus was all over the place.
Then I realized it doesn't have to be one or the other. It could be both. You can push yourself and really immerse yourself into learning and experiencing one thing at a time (less). Steve's article
Rapid Improvement helped with that.
