Four of the biggest time-wasters are doubt, delay, distractions, and defensiveness. Doubt makes you slow to believe. Delay makes you slow to begin. Distraction makes you slow to commit. Defensiveness makes you slow to improve.
They work in harmony too. Doubt triggers delay which invites distractions that lead to defensiveness when things aren’t going well. Like a line of dominoes these big four time-wasters set off a chain-reaction of disappointment. What is it worth to you to break that chain?
If you worked despite doubt, started without delay, filtered out distractions, and learned without getting defensive, what could you accomplish in the next three years? In the next 12 months? In the next 90 days?
Discipline is the shortcut. Do the work.
