Things You Need to Do to Stop Holding Yourself Back
Highlights & Notes
- Let go of perfectionism
Perfectionism can be a strong motivator, but it has rapidly diminishing returns. It quickly robs you of time, energy, and attention that you could be putting toward what’s really important in your life and your job. Sometimes just aiming for good enough is the best thing for yourself and your sanity.
Do your best, but don’t allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good.
- Break free of the sunk cost fallacy
If something isn’t working, despite your best efforts, sometimes the best thing to do is bite the bullet and walk away. Rather than doubling down, think back to when you started down your current path.
- Stop ruminating
Rather than worrying about what was beyond my control, I worked to reframe my thoughts in terms of what I could control. What could I learn from these experiences? How could I be proactive going forward?
- Think of your future self
Remember, your future self is responsible for the stress created by your current self, the one doing the procrastinating.
The next time you feel the temptation to procrastinate, think about your future self. Put yourself in their shoes, and ask yourself what they would wish you had done today.
- Make space for the small things
Build five minutes into your schedule between meetings. Then, during those five minutes, if there is anything you can resolve immediately, do it. Reply to that email, set up that meeting, or submit that ticket.
If you let the small things build up, you will be left with an hour of five-minute tasks to do at the end of the day. You will also spend twice as much time context-switching in and out while the work sits in the back of your mind all day.
- Look forward, not back
You will stumble on your way forward if you are always looking backward.
When you allow the past to anchor you, you are not allowing the future to blossom.
By opening yourself up to the future and looking ahead you can focus not on what can’t change, but on what you will change going forward.
- Run your own race
"Comparison is the thief of joy.”
focus on the progress you can make, the challenges you can overcome, and the goals you can set for yourself. You may be faster or slower than others, but the most important thing is finishing the marathon on your own terms.
- Embrace the risk of being judged
Growth does not come without the risk of being judged, but by being okay with that risk, you are allowing yourself to be part of the conversation.
If you often notice yourself holding back your opinions or contributions, start small. Choose one thing to do each day that goes beyond your comfort zone.
