Your world is made up of more than one workspace. There is more to who you are and what you do than your “job.” Because if this, reviewing your world on a regular basis is super important.

When I started introducing a weekly review into my workflow it seemed like a logical fit to do it on a Friday afternoon. The problem I encountered was context. Because I was usually at my desk at work on Friday afternoons it felt like the only thing I could review was that kind of work. The weekend would hit and I would be left feeling free! A little too free. Sure I had the regular parental commitments (sport/ballet etc) and the regular home washing stuff, but aside from that there was nothing… Or so it seemed.

Do you ever get that feeling that some projects may never end. That some tasks, though properly captured, just never get your attention? Why is it that we start these endeavours, that we note these things we really want, or need to do, and yet they remain incomplete? I’ve done a lot of thinking about this over the last few years. I have many grand plans, many ideas that I start and that’s how they remain. I got to thinking, “what is really holding me back from getting these projects done?”

Turns out there are a number of things that either act independently, or form an alliance with other factors that can stall your projects. Luckily, each has a countermeasure that you can act on now!
