Productivity: I am so much more productive when have so too much shit to do (yeah, get over it, I said the S word! If you are offended, just go check this out instead…giggles)! Are you like this? When I have very little to do, I cannot get going. I don’t do productive things like write every day. Yes writing is very productive, have you done my 30 day writing challenge yet? When I write, my blog gets posted. When I write new cool things go out to my newsletter list. When I write I create new programs.

When I am busy, the Warrior is ALIVE. Remember a Warrior chooses their missions and fates. So your warrior is alive when you have so much shit to do that YOU CHOOSE to do. Oh yeah, that is YUMMY as my friend Tambra Harck is famous for saying. ( Just had a moment of silence, as I embrace this realization even for myself.) Crazy part? When I have so much to do that I CHOOSE, the stuff I don’t isn’t so bad either. Sometimes even that stuff is completely off the table!!

The hard part for many is getting to a place where you CHOOSE, even as a leader, mother or business owner.  To CHOOSE means your productivity goes up. Think about  it. Ever get up and think to yourself: “oh geez, I have so much to do today, I will never get it all done.” How’s your productivity that day? Miserable? Exhausting? Draining? Frustrating? Thinking about what you do every day as a choice, versus a have to, or something that just kills the time. Could you feel differently if you said “I CHOOSE” instead of “I have to”?

Would your productivity increase if you did? Guess you will never know if you just thought “no”.
