If you are on a roll and making good progress, don’t pause.

Keep up the great work, consistency tends to make addition forward moving progress even more likely. Focusing on outside factors and pretty, shiny objects will definitely derail you and take you off track – sometimes far longer than you would think.

Being distracted and lax can become a habit and then, it is a huge set back.

Multi-tasking, allowing distractions to take away your focus (doom scrolling through a wide variety of social media platforms) or personal agenda items are also a huge impediment.

I am not saying you have to work all the time, 24/7. That isn’t sustainable.

But…

We have had our fun. Long weekends. Vacation. Time off. A few more holiday weekends will follow.

And, yes, it is summer, but work is at hand – good, meaningful and important work.

We need to keep focused, dedicated and sharp.

Decide now – be a force to be reckoned with regularly and motivate others to be the same – reach out, give someone the nudge (or the push) they need.

Because…

Pausing, then getting started again, is harder, so once you have the momentum, allow gravity (science and math) to work in your favor. You are on a roll for a reason – keep up the good work. It shows and you will be happier when you have accomplished your goals.
