Consistently Inconsistent
Like this newsletter.
The promise to train on Monday, to call the credit card company that keeps calling you on private, or to finally do your tax return.
Some inconsistencies don’t affect anything; some affect everything.
So how do you begin the journey of becoming consistently consistent?
“The key is not to prioritise what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” - Stephen Covey
Are you going to die if you don’t train on Monday? Probably not.
What about the thing you’ve been meaning to check out that’s been worrying you?
You know what I’m talking about.
Now, where does that stack up in the quadrant?
This newsletter lies somewhere between quadrants 2 and 3.
I’d like to think that it’s a 1 since it’s called RKDSundays.
Think about how the quadrant fits into your finances, health, or even your life.
Sit down before you go to bed and write a list of quadrant 1 things
Pick one
Write it in the middle of a separate piece of paper
Put the list away
Wake up
Focus on that one thing
Achieve, complete or finish it
Reward yourself with a quadrant 2 item. Those are easy to find
Go back to your list
Repeat
