I’m not a big fan of the taste of cheese.
I do however, respect its speed and versatility.
The weekly big shop trolley frequently houses a £5 block of the mildest of cheddars.
I was cutting several slices the other day. They weren’t for myself but for a small boys pack up.
When I was doing so, I dropped the full block on the floor.
And at that moment, the thought occurred to me that I feel like I’m dropping more things that I ever used to.
“I’m not a dropper” to borrow another friendism.
So why does it appear that way?
I took a little step back from the scene.
I had my laptop open, my diary open, my phone in one hand replying to someone wanting to rearrange a session, the blue light on the kettle was on, so a drink was imminent, there was a gym kit and bag in front of me that I was packing, the dog was asking to go out and see the local squirrel family, all while I was trying to make a cheese sandwich for a small boys pack up - and the truth is;
Probably for several years now.
I’ve been trying to do too many things at once.
Dropping wasn’t a chance.
It was a mathematical inevitability.
It is possible, to do more than one thing at once.
But you don’t see Gordon Ramsey whipping up a soufflé whilst solving the housing crisis simultaneously do you?
Focusing on one thing and completing it to its and your, best standard, is a far simpler, more effective idea.
There have been many sessions recently where I have had people come in to the gym nigh on spinning and leave much clearer and linear.
Training helps filter the noise.
It helps keep the equilibrium.
So take some things off your plate, (metaphorically) organise and order the rest, then do one thing at a time.
If one of the things on your new prioritised list is taking care of yourself better, with health, fitness and wellbeing…
My relatively safe hands are waiting to lead you through the process.
