Stop Dreaming of Retirement
Stop Dreaming of Retirement A few days ago, I stumbled into a conversation with a young man working behind the counter at a store I visited. It didn't take long before we knew a lot about each other.He was a student at Emory Riddle Aeronautics University here in Daytona Beach. I run into a lot of those kids. Being a pilot myself, we instantly bonded. Then he asked a question that caused me to pause…The Daytona area population is very diverse - with more than a few retired. Since I'm a guy with a bit of gray hair, a couple of wrinkles, and seemingly lots of free time on my hands, he asked…"Are you retired?"I shot back, "Not yet - in a couple of years!"What he said next stopped me in my tracks."Does that scare you or excite you?"I have to say. I don't get stuck with words very often. But after a few seconds, I said -"Neither! I love what I do and how my life is going, and I am excited about tomorrow more than today!" That's when he said, "I hope I'm that way when I get older - not to say you're old.Always remember -When you do what makes your heart sing, life gets better. Learn more about your ad choices.

Practicing the Focus-Finish-Focus Model
Practicing the Focus-Finish-Focus ModelWouldn’t it be great if you could create more time in your day? One way to think about it is to prioritize the projects already on your plate. That requires a simple understanding:1) Working on multiple products simultaneously only delays completing all the projects. Your mind can only focus on one thing at a time.2) What makes this such a great practice is that when you complete a project, not only is it off your plate, but it begins producing your expected results and also frees up time to move on to your next project.The next time that you are trying to find more time, ask -“What can I finish right now that will give me more time tomorrow - and every day after that?”Psychologically speaking, when practicing a focus-finish-focus model; your mind also experiences time differently. In the moment, time seems to be faster. After your projects are completed, your memories expand, and it seems like time has slowed down.That’s what they call a Mind Warp - and it happens daily.
