What do you shy away from? Do you shy away from trying new things, socialising, public speaking, doing health checkups or exercising? And how to overcome the inertia of doing these things that you tend to shy away from ? For me, I usually practise 3 simple steps : 1️⃣ Figure out your why - identify your purpose and understand why you have to do something about it. 2️⃣ Take the first step - to avoid procrastination, do not plan it too far away and don’t think too much - just eat the frog. Start with the hardest thing and get it out of the way. As the Nike slogan goes, “just do it”. 3️⃣ Making it fun - find a friend/ community to do it together, try it in an interesting setting or gamify it. What other tips do you practise to overcome inertia? Photo: By me #habit   #procrastination   #inertia   #personaldevelopment   #jenelim

What’s your morning ritual ?  ☕️I like to start my day with a daily dose of happiness - a cup of hot Teh or hot Coffee. 📰I will scan the news and do some light reading.  📝I will plan the day ahead, including establishing the priorities for the day or for the week (if it’s a Monday). I will also try to plan in such a way that my thinking work or writing work is done in the morning when the mind is fresh and the conference calls are not back to back. Find this proactive planning more effective and liberating than simply letting inbound calls and emails dictate my day.  ⚡️This simple ritual gives me the energy and drive to conquer whatever comes during the day.  What’s yours?  #habit #ritual #effectiveness  #personaldevelopment #jenelim
