Am I allowed to feel rusty whilst writing this post? Hmm (?) I mean sure, why not - I feel a bit rusty after a short absence of just four weeks which you can probably attribute to the easing of the measures here in London and to be honest, you'd be right 😉 Nevertheless I have an inspiring topic to share today but first ...

It's been great, dare I say magical to be able to visit restaurants and bars again after such a long time. It feels like pre-covid life is almost back 🍸 I can’t express how much I've missed socialising - from spending time on rooftops with friends (like the one below) to indoor pubs with colleagues - yes (!) that happened as well last week.

 
... but let's dive into the topic of this post.

Amidst the excitement and all the outdoor activities of the past few weeks I've found time to listen to some podcasts, nay, I made time listen to some podcasts. But one episode struck me ✨ and this is no other than Lewis Howes' amazing podcast 'The School of Greatness' and an episode with Tim Grover, best known for his training with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and thousands of athletes and business professionals. I've been really inspired by his work ethic and what he's done for/with Michael Jordan with his winning at all costs approach.

The first topic of Lewis and Tim's conversation was about worrying too much about balancing tasks and responsibilities. How often do we find ourselves swamped and trying to find a balance with everything that's been going on around us? Working hard and pushing to deliver a task or a project at the end of the day, squeezing a 30-minute workout, cooking a healthy meal, chatting with friends and family and of course watching an episode of our favourite show? It may not happen everyday to everyone but I'm sure most of you find this familiar and can relate to.

Now if you think again about some more specifics in your routine, I'm almost certain that you'll find some unessentials - Tim's advice is to GET RID OF THEM. What Tim learnt from working with His Airness is to focus your energy and time on things that actually contribute to your success, don't keep tasks that deviate you from your path of success. As Tim said, dedicate your time on that craft, give it your full attention! BE ALL IN ...and be obsessed with your goal (and, yes, obsession is not a bad word people perceive it that way). Look at it this way, think of someone successful in your life or a mentor of yours - did they do what they did without being obsessed with their goal? Highly doubt it..
