This is not a fight
|
Time and You. It's not a fight. It cant' be won. Sure, you want to do more stuff. But is it, though? What if you could do LESS, in less time? Time is nothing but a constraint. If it were a resource, you could use it at will, you could store it, you could buy and sell it. So, what to do instead? First, make your peace with it. It is what it is. And it's ok. Second, grab a piece of paper and jot down EVERYTHING that comes to your mind you would/could/need to do this year. Don't filter it. Just brain dump it. Third, pick all of them and group them by themes. Now, choose the most relevant. That's your one thing. :) |

"But it only took me 2 minutes!Why would I charge 5 000 for something that's SO simple?" Yeah. Simple TO YOU. It's highly unlikely everyone else (or the vast majority) can see what you see. To get to see what you see in under 2 mins might take them forever —or even if they get to see anything at all. Time has nothing to do with it. And if it had, it would be on your favor. The faster, the better. What's natural to you is not natural for everyone else. That's your unique ability. PS.- This is...
Trying to sound polite takes so much effort for you. In that effort of not sounding aggressive/offensive/needy/greedy you end up using fluffy language. Might Shall Maybe Should Could Hope ... All of it when you know the answer is No. You'll have to pay. The price is X. Yes, my service is expensive. A way to stop overthinking is being comfortable with the hard conversations. It's not (and won't be) easy. It's way harder if you're not used to this. Way way waaaaay harder if you're introverted....
