Be Here. Be Swift. Be Effective. A 6-word, self-leadership strategy perfect for anyone having “one-of-those-weeks” …

🔸 BE HERE
Because it’s the only place where we can ever take action and create change. Too much past and it’s regret and guilt. Too much future and it’s anxiety and hesitation. In both cases, it’s dispiriting inaction. Take a deep breath – and be here, now.

🔸 BE SWIFT
Because success likes speed, the mind likes focused concentration, and the ego likes momentum. Don’t drag your feet; decide and act. Don’t make it heavy; let it stay light. Don’t make it a nightmare; keep it a breeze.

🔸 BE EFFECTIVE
Because nothing stokes our fire like high-return activity. A small investment of time + energy + focus, for a significant productivity pay-off. You know the most effective play. Stop pretending you don’t. And don’t put 10 preparatory steps in front of it.

It can’t be as simple as this? It can. Try it and see. Grab a post-it. Write those 6 words on it. Put it on the wall. And take these immediate next steps:

👉 Get your setup right.
It’s a lot easier to be here when your environment is free from distraction, your calendar minimises interruption, and you have a system for parking what’s not-for-now.

👉 Define your “30-minute accelerators”.
To be swift and effective amongst the distractions, have a readymade list of highly-condensed “mini-projects” that achieve results inside 30-minutes. Think of them as the “acupuncture points” of your goals. Just what’s needed, where and when.
