This week, I’m sharing how I would spend my extra hour, and I’m also sharing a few tips for how to get more done.
For me, an extra hour in the day is not a time to sit around or go to the gym. I’d rather just do some work and have a conversation. I’d like to talk to people and work things out with them. I’d like to be around people to build a relationship with them. I’d like to have a conversation with people and be able to bring them along with me because that’s what I like to do.
I want to be able to have conversations with people that are in the same room with me and talk to them. Id like to have a conversation with people that I see and feel they like. I want to be around people with the same interests and have a conversation with them. Id like to go to a place and have a conversation with people that I feel like we would be good friends with.
Imagine you have an extra hour in the day to spend with people. How would you go about doing it? You could have a conversation with them, you could go to a place, or you could just go with them. But you probably wouldn’t be able to do any of these things for an entire day, so the best you could do would be to think about what you wanted to talk about and make a list of those topics.
Because it’s so rare to have a person at a place, place of worship, or a place with a lot of people in it, you have to think about what you want to talk about. It’s just that the person in a place gets to be there because he’s there.
If you have a list — and it really doesnt matter how long it is — of topics you want to talk about, you can probably make your list pretty long. Thats half of what a list is. In fact, list making is something that is actually in a lot of lists. It’s where you list topics that you want to discuss. In the same way as the list of things you want to discuss, its kinda like brainstorming.
Its not just brainstorming. When you brainstorm, you look for ideas, and you list them on the list. When you list you look in your own head.
List making is a pretty cool way to think, since its like a mental game and is not in order to do anything. The idea is to list all of the things you want to talk about. So for example, the first time you sit down and write down the topics you want to talk about, you will probably be able to come up with topics that you didn’t think about at all. You can probably come up with topics you didn’t even know you wanted to talk about.
List making is actually a pretty fun and productive way to work on your own projects. I think it is because it can be the only way to force yourself to think about what you are going to talk about. List making can often be the last thing that someone writes down. This is because not only does it feel good, it can be a bit of a relief from writing and keeping track of all the things you want to talk about. List making can also help you figure out your next project.
So often, I find myself getting distracted when I’m doing list making. It’s hard to focus on the lists and what I wish I had said earlier. To get back on track, I usually take a look at what I wrote and make a couple of “fixes.” Sometimes it’s the list itself that needs a touch-up, but sometimes it’s something else that needs to be worked on.
