Work-Life Balance Myth: I’ll Slow Down

• When I’m done with this file
• When the business slows down
• When I hit X

You won’t because:

• Another case will come along
• Business is unpredictable. Something always happens (problems or opportunities)
• You will try to reach Y

When you take on a lot of work it becomes a habit.

And it’s hard to break a good or bad habit.

If you want to slow down you must :

• Make a decision
• Find your “Why”
  • Assign pain to continue your acceleration
  • Associate pleasure with slowing down
• List all your options
• Select the ones that are most likely to work
• And start now with the first action

Your intention will overcome your habit, not your hope.
