Finding a purpose…
We set our agenda whilst working from home so therefore each day we set the path of intent. Find a purpose in everything you do, from a micro level to macro level.
Having a purpose is liking having a compass in your head. You know for the day the direction you are heading and therefore you set off with a good mind set.
Write down each day what your overall purpose will be and then look to the tasks that connect with that overall purporse.
Example:-
Overall purpose – To write and submit a report
- Map out a plan
- Collate research
- Start the report
Alternatively if you decide your purpose for the day is to be healthy, think of all things you can do that connect eg. eating well, exercising and going to bed early.
When we have decided on our purpose, achievement follows closely and underpins motivation.
Ideally if you have purpose at a macro level you have a clear idea of why you do what you do everyday it make is much easier to set tasks at a micro level.
Ask yourself key questions to discover your overall purpose:-
- What are you trying to achieve in life?
- What are your strengths?
- What are you selling/or giving others?
- What story are you telling?
Start to get inquisitive about why you do what you do? Having a clear purpose even when conducting the smallest of tasks is a sign of healthy mental well being.
Decide what is going to be on your agenda tomorrow set the compass and find your purpose…?
