Today, one of my clients – an incredibly motivated, idea driven entrepreneur- emailed me asking for help. He explained that he recently met an awesome woman, and although he was quite smitten, he has some concerns over this new development.
Seems he isn’t getting as much done as he normally would!
He has noticed that with all the time he is spending with his new flame – not to mention the mental and emotional space she’s occupying – he just isn’t as productive as usual. “Jen,” he wrote, “seriously, any tips you have to help me with this, explain because I just don’t know what to do.”
If you or someone you know is experiencing this “problem,” listen closely to some expert productivity advice from yours truly:
Love is what life is all about, so dive in with both feet and ENJOY it! Do not for a second allow thoughts of what you “should” (such a bad word) be doing, ruin the oh-so incredible feeling of falling in love. In most cases, work can wait, but time does not.
And that was what I shared with him.
I also reminded him that we are usually our own worst critics, and what we define as 100% for ourselves is likely 120% to others!
Bottom line: worst case, you’re likely doing just fine. Even if in your mind, you don’t think so. Like Paul and John said so simply: all you need is love.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
