Grow with a Life Coach

I always have a million ideas. One of my friends recently asked me "Are you ever afraid that your head might explode because its over flowing with ideas?" And just the other day one of my supervisors said "You have a hyper active mind"

For the last seven years I've been struggling with trying to balance the multitude of interests and talents that I have; how to explain and promote the services I provide that are based on my many talents and interests without sounding too broad and over ambitious.

The gift of always having new ideas is that you never get bored, but the curse is that if your always writing down, discussing, and planning new ideas you end up not having time to finish and carry out the old ones.

Recently, I had a session with a life coach who helped put everything into focus. It's time to finish what I started! There are several finished books, almost finished books, and unfinished books in my home office and all I need to do is copyright them and send them to an editor. So why haven't I done that yet? Too busy in my own head telling myself there not don enough for someone else to see. Yes, I admit I am a recovering perfectionist. Perfectionism often leads to procrastination because I end up telling myself if i could just add this or that it would be so much better. And then I end up losing interest in the unfinished project because I come up with a newer even better idea

The first step is to commit to myself and to hold my self accountable for finishing the old projects. I promise myself that I will not let new ideas distract me from finishing the almost finished projects anymore. I will write new ideas down in a notebook and leave them alone until I am finished carrying out the older projects. I will use my time management skills to schedule at least an hour a day to work on finishing old projects.

What's helping me stay focused?
