as you continue doing the work, as you make progress toward your desires, much of your focus should rightfully be on \u201cwhat can i do today to move me one step closer to whatever i am trying to achieve?\u201d while \u201cdoing the work\u201d really seems to be about actions you should take, often it is just as much \u2013 if not more \u2013 about what actions to stop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

in martial arts, regardless of the activity, learning to use proper technique is essential.

\nrecently, john has been breaking down complex movements and coupling them with verbal mnemonics to help his students understand exactly what he wants them to do, and not to do. while i often don\u2019t have difficulty executing various techniques, i almost always have a problem performing the techniques properly. for instance, i might incorporate extra strength into the movement to offset the fact that i was only partially correctly utilizing the technique being taught (which didn\u2019t require strength, but rather leverage or flow). so, when i am doing the work, i need to remember that my first priority is to learn the technique, not to execute it. i have to stop trying to be someone who can quickly mimic the technique in order to be the person who has correctly learned the technique.<\/p>\n

managing \u201cwhat not to do\u201d shows up in every objective you set for yourself. a few months ago while i was skiing, i was clumsily traversing downhill after nine months of being away and had to remind myself to stop leaning back in my boots so that i could turn more easily and quickly. recently, when i was juggling about 10 business projects at the same time, i had to stop reacting to whoever was screaming the loudest and start working off my \u201cwhat-is-the-best-use-of-my-time-now\u201d to-do list so that i could get more done in a shorter period of time rather than spinning in circles because i was constantly jumping from project to project.<\/p>\n

one night in the last few weeks, i found myself in bed trying to go to sleep while i was visualizing a challenge over\u00a0 and over in my mind. i knew that if i didn\u2019t stop the circus going on in my head i wouldn\u2019t be refreshed enough to properly deal with my situation in the morning. today, while i was working on this piece, i had to stop being judgmental about what i was writing and let my thoughts flow freely, knowing that later i could fine-tune what i had written. it doesn\u2019t matter what you are doing, for every step forward you want to take, progress is often predicated as much or more on stopping something you are doing as it is about starting something.<\/p>\n

as you consider starting or stopping an action, recognize that whatever you decide to do, you need to approach it in a sustainable way. this is one of the major change management points i review with my clients regularly.<\/p>\n

working with one of my cpa firm clients recently, it was decided that all of the partners needed to start spending more time in front of their clients. the client identified that this action would not only create greater loyalty, but was a best practice in the profession as well. because of hearing frequently what was keeping their clients awake at night, the partners would<\/p>\n
