Now Learn How to Get It Done 💡
|
Hi Reader, A friend of mine shared something recently that's been rattling around in my head ever since, and yes, I asked permission to share 😉 Something she'd been working on hadn't gone the way she'd hoped. She was disappointed. Really disappointed. When she got home that evening, her father asked if she was ready to listen. And when she nodded, he said: "You know how to do the work. Now you need to learn how to get the work done." Let that sit with you for a moment. Because oh my, doesn't that land? 😅 To be honest, it happens to all of us. We have the picture-perfect version in our mind. How the conversation will go. How the task will flow. How the list will be neatly crossed off by the end of the day. And then… life happens. We beat ourselves up for it. Thoughts go through our mind, and the main character of those inner conversations? SHOULD. I should have... (fill in the blank), and suddenly we're questioning ourselves. Our capabilities. Whether we're even cut out for this at all. So the real question isn't: can you do the work? The real question is: how do you get the work done? And this is where I have to check in with myself often. Because how we respond in that moment matters far more than the mismatch itself. What lessons did I learn from it? None of those are failures. They're recalibrations. Because here's what I've learned. When the picture doesn't match the reality, it's usually not about your ability. It's about the things around it. Timing. Support. Systems. Small assumptions we didn't even know we were making. And that's actually good news. Because as long as we're making progress toward learning from the mistake, the misjudgement of time, or whatever was at the source of it, not going the way we imagined… That's a WIN! Chat next week, P.S. Where in your life have you been focused on being able to do the work… but forgotten to learn how to actually get it done?

View in browser Hi Reader, This morning I joined the Beban Parkrun again. My friend couldn’t make it this week, so I was prepared to run on my own, go slowly, and really try to stay within my heart rate zones to build more stamina. Which currently means quite a bit more walking than jogging 😏 And let me tell you, sticking to those zones while people are happily running past you is harder than it sounds. But anyway, that’s not actually what this story is about. At some point, while I was...
View in browser Hi Reader, On one of my latest jogs, I was just minding my own business. Which, if we're being honest, means I was giving myself silent pep talks. This is for a good cause. You'll feel great when you're back home. Stop whining, you literally chose to do this. Nobody pointed a gun to your head, Peggy. You know. Normal jog thoughts 😅 Then, out of absolutely nowhere… I found myself doing my best karate moves. Right there. In the middle of the trail. Because I had just run...
View in browser Hi Reader, Last Saturday, I found myself running out the door in a hurry. I had to get to my IELTS test on time. (No, it's not a contagious disease, don't worry 😅 It's one of the official English language tests you can take to sort out documents. In my case, for my Canadian Post Graduate Work Permit.) Once I was on the road, I did what I usually do when I'm driving: I reached for my phone to call my mom. Except… my phone wasn't there. It was still at home 🙃 There was no time...
