My day started at 3:30 this morning with a barking dog.
It’s pretty polite of the dog to let me know that something’s up and she has to go outside. It’s certainly more polite than not letting me know.
But 3:30 is early. So I went back to bed. When I woke up again, I thought I had really slept in.
And then I saw it was 4:30.
So I made the coffee and started working on an email series for a marketing system I’m building with a client.
By the time the rest of the town woke up, I was pretty much done with my work for the day.
This is my process, this is my routine. Pretty much every day.
I had a coaching client ask me yesterday how he could stop procrastinating.
My response was something like, “I love procrastinating. I do far better work that way. And who’s to say it’s not just your process that you do it too? Maybe that’s just the way you’re wired to work? Which is worse, the procrastinating or the emotional hit of guilt you create when you think there’s something wrong with it? What part of you is telling you that another part of you is doing it wrong?”
The experts would tell you how to live and work, that there’s a certain ideal you have to measure up to.
This is just leftover slave thinking that’s been programmed into our world for the past few thousands of years.
You do what you do and you do it how you want to do it.
If you commit to that, amazing things can happen. And because you did it YOUR WAY, you can replicate future results the very same way.
