Waiting Time: Leap Year W3
DPA = Discover, Pursue, and Achieve
Welcome back to week 3 of the Leap Year, where I will share helpful tips on how you can start your own DPA process to achieve your dreams this year. I am currently a little farther along in my process, but I wanted to share my insights from each week, as you will be able to see everything that I went through. In addition, I thought it would be beneficial to share one strategy per week that will help you in your DPA process.
These strategies have helped me overcome the obstacles that I have faced on my DPA process and hopefully can help you deal with the “I CAN’T” statements that you will face on yours.
The second one I am going to share is one that will help you overcome PROCRASTINATION and helps when you say I CAN’T because I do not have enough time…
WT = DT strategy: Tony Robbins said in his best selling book Unlimited Power “If you want to achieve success, all you need to do is find a way to model those that have already succeeded.” In simple terms, Success leaves clues. Today There is an abundance of material from those that have succeeded in the form of blogs, ebooks, physical books, and even online courses. They provide anyone with the steps on how to achieve anything. Couple this with the fact that the average American will spend FIVE FULL DAYS a year waiting in a line or room of some sort, you have the perfect situation for the WT = DT strategy.
To implement the strategy, always carry resources that will help you take steps to become the successful individuals t=of your choosing. This could be you uploading their blogs or sites on your mobile devices or downloading their books to your digital libraries. For those that like the physical books, just make sure it is in your purse or bag, so that you can pull it out during one of your many waiting times.
Lastly, you can turn any WT = DT. It does not need to be over 5, 10, or even 15 minutes. All you need to to is read one sentence from one of your resources that can help you improve in some form or another. Done consistently, this can create some meaningful results.
Here is my post from week 3 of my Leap Year.
Planning: Find statistic on how much time we spend waiting per year to add to the chapter on turning wait time = developing time.
Implementation: This week I was able to use the morning nap time of Tae, my son, and consequently Meggo, my wife, as a time to find this information.
Reflection: I learned that the average American spends about 115.625 hours per year waiting in line. Wow, that is pretty staggering. That is almost 5 full days of being bored or frustrated, day dreaming, or able to improve yourself.
This week the task of finding this information almost felt like it would not make a difference, even after I put reminders in high traffic areas to do so. However, after I felt more fulfilled as I have been able to complete three tasks in three weeks. Although I have not put a huge dent in the overall process, it has felt great being disciplined and consistent towards writing these blog entries and eventually the book. Thanks and see you next week.
