Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - December 19, 2023

 Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren't sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better. - John Carmack

I don't care how much power, brilliance or energy you have, if you don't harness it and focus it on a specific target, and hold it there, you're never going to accomplish as much as your ability warrants. - Zig Ziglar

Communication was a serious focus for the author this year. With the additional responsibilities at her job, she was communicating with senior leaders and had to be clear and concise with her words. During the author’s performance review, she was told that her communication was excellent and consistent. The author was told that her communication in the weekly meeting with senior leaders was slow predictable, which was a very good thing.

The last area the author focused on in 2023 was energy. As she is writing this blog post, she is tired from a sleepless night. The author took time to evaluate the reason for her sleepless night and realized part of it was due to stress and concern of too many tasks to complete. Additionally, the author runs and lifts weights daily, but may not eat enough food to provide the energy she needs for all of the exercising she does. For the author, she learned that she cannot schedule something every night of the week as she does need an occasional night to stay in and she needs to reduce the number of miles she runs. The author yet again surpassed the number of miles she had as her goal. Being an overachiever and goal-oriented, the author likes to surpass her goals, but she has to learn in 2024 that she does not have to surpass goals if she wants other parts of her life to take occur.   

ACTION: What do you need to stop in 2024 to get what you want?
