I think it was the Verizon commercial that said, “Make Progress Every Day.” After learning what I did from the Internet Marketing seminar I have committed to making progress everyday.
The recommendation was to work on your website for at least 1 hour a day. They allowed us start slowly…30 minutes/day for the first week and 45 minutes/day for the second. Which is a great suggestion to help people get into new habits.
As a personal trainer, I would often recommend doing 15 minutes of exercise everyday initially, just to get someone in the habit of exercising (and not making it too painful). Who can’t make 15 minutes available to move their body?
Today was a busy day…talked with the family (teenagers often have challenges), caught up on CSI (we can’t be all work and no play), took a bike ride and then I was tired.
I sat down at the computer and I just wanted to play on Facebook. I go and tell my husband…I don’t feel like doing my hour today. He suggested…why don’t I write about that. Bells go off…and here I am. Though, I did officially de-commit from the full hour and committed to at least 30 minutes.
The interesting thing is…once I get started I usually keep going. That happened a lot during the first two weeks when I was committed to doing less than an hour. (That may or may not happen today…I’ll let you know.)
Even if all I did was the 30 minutes…I still made progress today. As long as you are making progress toward your goals…you will get there eventually. Everything takes as long as it takes. Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to yourself yesterday…did you grow? …did you make progress? …are you closer to your goal?
If you can answer, yes to those questions…then you succeed today. Celebrate that success. You (and me) should celebrate all of your (our) successes…even if they seem small at the time. Small successes add up.
(I’m 15 minutes in…maybe I should write slower
