My favorite quote by Einstein is “Vision without execution is merely hallucination.” The first time I read this I was surprised at the glaring truth to this simple statement. At the same time, I realized it’s sometimes easier said than done.
Goal setting, New Year’s resolutions, dreams, and big ideas-these are heavy on people’s minds right now as we cross the threshold into 2012. Everyone wants to make up for lost time and start off the year on a course to reach their biggest goals and why not? It’s a leap year which makes it even more exciting to think about soaring to new heights. I’m right there with you. I, too, have big ideas, dreams and goals.
Einstein’s quote helped me to realize there are two distinct parts to reaching your big ideas, dreams and goals. First you must have a Vision and second, you must have a Plan to accomplish the vision. One does not happen without the other. They are like partners working in tandem. Visionaries can be challenged by creating a plan and Planners sometimes lack the necessary vision to keep the dream alive.

The Importance of Doing Something You Enjoy

I went to bed at 5am this morning after finishing three blog posts I had been asked to write. That´s right, I was up all night writing them, not because I put my heart and soul into it, not because they were important academic posts, simply because the subject did not interest me in the slightest.
When I write about something I enjoy, the words come easily and the task is finished in a fraction of the time. When i am writing to pay the bills, it takes me forever to get it finished. There was a deadline however, and I had no other choice but to keep at it until they were finished.
I calculate that it took me at least four times as long to write the blog posts as it should have done for the following reasons:
- I procrastinated and let myself get distracted
- I left it until the last minute so was not in a calm, relaxed, frame of mind
- I was writing when I was tired so it took longer to think of what to write
Writing 400 words is easy. Writing 400 words that include keywords, make sense and are relevant to the topic takes more work. I could have rushed through and delivered an average piece of work, but that is not in my character, and is completely counter-productive if you want to get repeat business.
Which is why I crawled into bed at 5am, only to find that I couldn´t sleep! As 6am rolled up and I knew I only had one hour of sleep left before I had to get the kids up, I cursed myself for faffing yet again.
Lessons you can learn from my mistakes:
- Do it now! Remember that annoying saying older people used to tell you as a child "Don ´t put off until tomorrow what you can do today." Wise words!
- Don´t sacrifice your sleep because you will kill your productivity for the next day
- Do something you enjoy - you will do it better and faster than something you feel obliged to do
It has been a long time since I did an all-nighter, and I take is as a reminder to get on with getting the Alternative Income Report published!
Baby steps people! Make little improvements each day.
