Just do it!
Admin • Oct 04, 2014
As life demands different tasks from each of us, we see that there are days that can be quite overwhelming. Our to do list spins out of control and we look around for an agent.
We begin to put off different assignments and choose to procrastinate.
However, this can build up into a catastrophe if we allow it to.
In order to go with the flow in life, we just have to do some things. No matter how minute they seem, and how convenient it would be to let them go for a while, if we just do them when they are presented to us, we will maintain a greater sense of peace. Life will balance out and we will have the weight of worry off of our minds.
I am sure we have all had that feeling to where we have accomplished every task(majority) set before us, and we can take a sigh of relief. That always feels great doesn’t it? Well, why not life in that mode, instead of making life work hard for you to where there is always a load to carry, and never a moment of accomplishment?
So, I want to challenge you that next time you desire to put off a task, just do it! It will benefit you and those you are connected to.
To help with this, come up with a way to manage your time so that you can allot yourself some time either early in the morning, during downtime throughout your day, or at night so that you can catch up on these tasks. Also, don’t overwork yourself. If you have 5 to 10 tasks to complete, challenge yourself to take up 2-3 in a day until your list is complete. Now, this will take sacrifice but know that it will be worth it once you are caught up with all of your responsibilities….
Thanks for letting me share. Just do it!

I urge you to take a moment to listen to Dr. India White's enlightening TEDx talk, "The Power of Grit," where she delves into what drives grit in the lives of leaders, teachers, and students every day. In this captivating presentation, Dr. White offers invaluable insights into the transformative potential of grit—the unwavering determination and resilience that propel individuals toward their goals, even in the face of adversity. As educators and leaders, we play a pivotal role in instilling and nurturing grit among our students and colleagues. Dr. White's talk serves as a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we cultivate grit within ourselves and those we influence. I encourage you to watch the TEDx talk for a deeper understanding of how grit can drive success in our classrooms, workplaces, and lives.
