Life hands us many things that sometimes we do not know how to attend to them. What do you do when you have a lot of tasks and do not have enough energy? This is something I face almost every day. I have pending tasks I was supposed to have attended for 3 days and I have been postponing them. I am currently running with many ideas to build real tech solutions, but factors like time and funding are limiting them.
Have you ever seen a rose bush or garden? Roses don’t grow tall or wide like trees, they only create more buds more than they can contain. And if they are not trimmed, they will grow until they have no more space to contain the buds and probably die.
This is the way ideas and tasks work. There are times you will have multiple ideas and the little ones will compete with the more great ones. This is the time to trim your ideas and allow the great ones that can blossom. I have new ideas to create something almost every month and sometimes the new idea will seem to have more potential than the old ones. It has been a tough thing for me to manage. However, when I realised we just have to cut out some ideas and focus on a few, there has been better results for me.
There are several ways to be productive, but understanding some fundamentals is essential. If you want to have results in the things you do, you just have to cut off some ideas that are not so great but seem important.
Sometimes, all you need to be successful is to focus on a thing and not pile up ideas. For someone that wants to lose weight, there are many ways to get a result, but there are 1 or 3 drills that are more effective than doing many exercises.
The same thing applies to entrepreneurs. If you have a company with 5 or 6 products and the 6 are profitable and you are getting like 3x profits on them, which among these products have the potential of doing 500x?
Ideas are good but when they are chunked up, they leave you in confusing and you may end up chasing the wrong thing. If you don’t trim your life when you have so many ideas, the important ones will not blossom.
Ideas are like Rosebuds!
