Once a decision is made …

Be patient for process and results, for sure. But be impatient for action.

Leave little, or better still, no time between a decision and its first action. In fact: commit to a new habit always to kick-off Action #1 at the scene of your decision.

Does this mean be hasty? No. That’s what the preceding decision-portion of this process was all about: a considered choice. But from there: ACTION.

Time between decisions and actions creates problems. Procrastination. Doubt. Distraction. Loss of focus. Loss of energy. Loss of drive. Time creates problems!

Without time, there can be no problems. Only challenges. For there to be a problem: it needs to be in my future, (most-likely) surrounded by worry. And a problem not acted upon immediately is with you, all day and all night. Ad infinitum!

Remove the time element: and I am in the here and now, working on my challenge. And a life spent working on my challenges (and advancing my projects) is exciting!

Perhaps these thoughts feel too deep to be useful. So, let’s bring it back to the simplest and most practical of ideas: Be impatient for action.
