Nicole M Dewey on LinkedIn: "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted." 😁 That's not time wasted… (2024)

𝟗 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐈’𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐬 𝐈 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝟓𝐊⁣⁣𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬⁣I’ve always wanted to be a runner. Fun fact: in high school, I joined cross country but would throw up every run because of my eating habits. My community makes it easier now to stay disciplined and focused.⁣⁣𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦⁣Although it’s a 5K, I committed to running 3 miles as I train. Setting and sticking to this goal has been crucial in keeping me on track.⁣⁣𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞⁣I start off with a destination, then randomly go for a more scenic route. Somehow, I always arrive back at home right in time to finish 3 miles.⁣𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲⁣Your body will always let you know what you aren’t doing to nourish it. My cramps are a constant reminder that I need to drink more water. ⁣𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬⁣No matter how early I start to beat the sun, it always finds me and I hate it, lol. This has taught me to push through external challenges and not become my own obstacle.⁣⁣𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧⁣Roadmaps are great for getting started. I still love a destination, and having a route helps with getting started. It’s similar to my roadmap for capacity building.⁣⁣𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬⁣I love a good challenge. As I got closer to 3 miles, I felt more motivated. This is a reminder of my resilience and how you can empower yourself by viewing challenges positively.⁣⁣𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝⁣I needed new everything before I could start, lol. I paid for an arm band which I didn’t like, considered new AirPods because I’m down to only one, and even thought about getting new shoes although I have many. But I realized I already had what I needed.⁣⁣𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠⁣I’m proud of my time, but more proud that I finished. You don’t need a strict timeframe or timeline. Just commit to finishing, no matter what.

Consistency only works if you do. 👀The thing about taking up space is that if you want to continuously feel more comfortable taking up space, then you have to do it more consistently. And I know when we typically think about taking up space, we think of it in one moment, in one instant. While that is definitely important, what are you doing on a daily basis that is ensuring that you are taking up space for yourself that you can do consistently? For me right now, that's enjoying a slow morning, enjoying being outside, getting in exercise, eating a great breakfast, and making sure that I'm taking up the space for myself to be PRESENT for the rest of my afternoon and the rest of my day. You have to show up for yourself. 💯You have to be consistent. 🗣️You have to know that if you're afraid of people hearing the same message over and over and over again, you're taking up space for the wrong reasons. Take up space for you, period. How are you taking up space today?

5️⃣ simple yet effective things I do to maintain my productivity levels:📑 1. Close unnecessary tabs - the amount of visual noise tabs can create is, for me, sometimes unbearable. That's why you'll never see me with +10 or 20 tabs open, especially if they're unnecessary.🤝 2. Set boundaries - You don't need to be mean, rude, or unhelpful, but you do need to set your own boundaries. If you get easily distracted or lost in the process, tell people to wait until you're done with your task before helping them, or just don't answer that message right away.🎶 3. Music or no music? I've come to understand how and what kind of music can help me become more productive. If music doesn't do it, but I need to silence all the noise around (especially working in an open space) airphones that cancel the noise can be it.☕ 4. Taking breaks - No, they do not make me unproductive. It is actually helpful for me to take a break, not even physically but also mentally, as I come back with some new energy and refreshed thoughts. ⚡ 5 - Understand at what % I'm at - Some days my 100% is my other day's 40%. And that's what I give, with the same compromise and focus. What are some things you do to stay productive? Let me know 📧

On Mondays...We start! Today, I want you to start focusing on what you are supposed to do.“Do what YOU are supposed to do.” These are the words my mother used to tell me when I was growing up. It was in response to me telling her what such and such was doing or me complaining about something that I thought wasn’t fair. This statement still anchors me and helps me quickly refocus. It’s so easy to lose focus with so many distractions. Distractions are no longer someone walking into the room or people talking loudly in a space. Distractions are in our hands every day, and we constantly and willingly distract ourselves.Here are six things you can start doing to focus and get things done:1. Schedule a block of time to untether from your phone. Place your phone in a different room or use the Do Not Disturb feature (allow messages from people who may need your attention in case of an emergency).2. Prioritize your tasks. Do what MUST be done first, and then order accordingly.3. Remove tasks that you KNOW you aren’t going to do or that don’t align with your goals and purpose.4. Delegate tasks that you KNOW someone else can do better and more efficiently.5. Place yourself in an environment where you feel comfortable, safe, and inspired. I like being in a room where the sun is shining through the window, or I can enjoy the rain. Both are beautiful.6. My personal favorite: Turn on a playlist of music that motivates you or pumps you up. It won’t even feel like you’re working! I love listening to older R&B and hip-hop.Stay committed to doing what you are supposed to do, and watch how much more you can accomplish. Let’s make this week a great start to your journey of focused productivity. You are fully capable!
