“The key to success: do only one thing at a time – and give it everything you’ve got.” ~ Brook Noel


Good morning!

Do only one thing at a time: don’t laugh – I really mean it!  I know this concept might seem difficult to grasp and I understand the skepticism.  Just as I was born complicated, I was also born a multitasker.   I am naturally one of those people who have eighteen programs or windows open on my computer.  I am reading (or writing) multiple books at a time.  I can’t even buy one pet at a time!  I acquired two cats that were brothers, and two golden retrievers that were sisters.

However, I had to come to terms with the fact that doing multiple things at one time didn’t make me more efficient: It just made me more stressed.  It led me to falsely believe I could do more with little time.  Yet, when I embraced the concept of doing one thing at a time and began focusing on one thing at a time, something amazing happened.  Suddenly, I didn’t feel so rushed – I didn’t feel everything was “urgent.”  I didn’t feel like I was on a treadmill.  Instead, I felt centered and in control.  I was able to do my best, because I wasn’t being distracted and divided by multiple tasks, but instead was focused on a single purpose.

This was true at work and also at play.  Try watching a movie while paying bills or folding laundry, instead of just watching the movie.  Try playing a game with your child, rather than playing a game while also fixing dinner.  Which way offers more peace, more enjoyment, more magic in the moment?  When we cram a single moment with multiple activities, we might get more done, but we can only do so by sacrificing the magic of the moment.

Your Turn:  Today, instead of cramming a lot into each moment, slow down and focus on enjoying one moment at a time – and giving it all you’ve got!

Today’s Affirmation:  I am focused and centered in the moment.

 And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"

And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter?
