In this episode of Jobs for Women, Zoe delves into the pitfalls of overthinking and emphasizes the importance of living in the moment. Many of us are caught up in the cycle of constantly thinking about our next move, our future ambitions, or past regrets, rather than focusing on the present and taking actionable steps towards our goals.

In this episode you will learn top tips to take action to live more in the now and move out of your thinking mind:

We cover:

1. Your goals are outcomes, not actions:

Action: Take your overarching goal and break it down into smaller actionable steps. For example, if your goal is to get a promotion, start by updating your resume and listing all your recent accomplishments. Set a timeline to complete each task.

2. You are always busy, yet not productive:

Prioritise your daily to-do list based on importance and impact. Use a technique like time-blocking or the Pomodoro technique to focus on one task at a time. At the end of each day, reflect on what you accomplished and adjust your approach for the next day.

3. You resist what you want the most:

Identify one small step you can take towards your goal. If you want to start a podcast, as mentioned, begin by choosing a podcast topic or name. Overcome resistance by committing to small, manageable tasks.

4. You look for quick solutions more than you focus on restructuring the questions: -

When something goes wrong, take a moment to reflect on what you can learn from the experience. Write down what you could do differently next time and implement those changes as soon as possible.

5. You are always imagining what you want to do, but never really doing it:

Turn your dream into a concrete plan. For example, if you dream of writing a book, set aside 10 minutes each day to write. Begin by creating an outline and work consistently towards your goal.
