Find out how to get motivated, maximize your time, and make yourself accountable.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
One of Eric’s core values is Excellence. The earlier you start on a creative project, the greater chance it has of being excellent. There is a link between innovation and preparation. Valuing excellence motivates him to start earlier.
If you get into the habit of making appointments with yourself, it is 40% more likely to happen. Don’t just say that you’ll do something. Put it in your calendar, give it a time and place. Make yourself accountable.
One of the biggest mistakes you can make is saying yes to too many things. Success brings opportunity, but not every opportunity is the right one. Too much on your plate can lead to less time with your family and less time to focus on your important work. There are only 24 hours in a day, so try saying no until you know more about what you’re saying yes to.
As human beings, we want completion. We get satisfaction from it.
Fear is one of the leading causes of procrastination. This can be fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of change.
Your attitude is at the foundation of your success. Within the average person 80% of our thoughts are negative. If you’re a pessimist, you’re more likely to procrastinate. The only way to get rid of a habit is to start a new one, replace the negativity with gratefulness, what are you grateful for?
We all have times of day where we have more energy, and this varies from person to person. It’s all about awareness.
