How to Work Differently and Achieve More

Maya thought success meant doing everything. She handled every detail, fixed every problem, and made sure everyone was happy. But in trying to do it all, she was spreading herself too thin.

It wasn’t until she stopped and asked, “What if there’s a different way?” that everything started to change.

Maya’s Story:
Maya began by focusing on the tasks that truly mattered—like building relationships with clients and planning strategies that moved her business forward.

She let go of the busywork and started saying no to tasks that didn’t align with her goals. It wasn’t easy at first, but the results were undeniable: She was more productive, more successful, and finally had time to enjoy her life.

3 Awareness Questions:
Ask yourself:

  1. Are you prioritizing urgency over importance in your day-to-day tasks?

  2. How often do you stop to ask if what you’re doing is actually moving you closer to your goals?

  3. What’s one thing you could stop doing today to free up time for something more impactful?

Why Working Differently Works:
When you focus on what matters most, you:

  • Free up energy to tackle your biggest opportunities.

  • Avoid wasting time on tasks that don’t bring results.

  • Create space for growth, creativity, and success.

You May Be Thinking or Hear Yourself Say...

  1. “I don’t know where to start.”

    • Start small. Pick one task that matters most and focus on that today.

  2. “I feel guilty saying no.”

    • Remember: Saying no to the wrong things is saying yes to what truly matters.

  3. “I’m afraid I’ll miss something important.”

    • By focusing on priorities, you’ll actually see better results and fewer missed opportunities.

3 Quick Wins for Today:

  1. Define Your Priority: Write down the one thing that will create the biggest result for you today.

  2. Pause Before Saying Yes: Ask yourself, “Does this align with my goals?” before taking on a new task.

  3. Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge one thing you’ve done this week that made a difference.
