Hi!
I just did my 7 day get it done evaluation. My goal is to finish my book proposal & first chapter by the end of June as I’m on a course that has this as the deadline.
Last week, I took more indirect action, around getting other tasks out of the way to line this up to focus on for the next 2 weeks. Plus taking care of some emotional needs after being in a stressed and overwhelmed place. I’m proud of what I’ve set up for myself now and feel ready to get going.
I think there is a looming thought of what if this isn’t enough time – and I don’t want to stray into panic mode and bottle it, just get on with it in the time I have & trust that it’s enough. I even have a week booked off from other work next week & am going to stay by the beach for a week. So aside from 3 days before the deadline with other work & social commitments, I could literally spend 12 days on it. Logically I know this is a lot & plenty of time, but I do notice the panic of leaving it ‘too late’ rising.
I would like to trust that I’m right on time, that I’ve lined everything up to be able to give this my full attention now, and that I have all of the skills and experiences and resources that I need.
Do you have any tips on managing my mind through the next 2 weeks?
Many thanks

First answer your question: What if there isn’t enough time? Write freely and see what comes up. Pick a thought to put into a model and see what it creates for you.

Go back through what you’ve written and see all the wins. I see so many! I would offer that you’re not going to need to manage your mind the whole time, what if you just need to get started and trust that of course you will create the result you want, and even have fun doing it? What’s the downside to believing that?
