3 Easy Ways to Control the Moments That Hijack Your Day
Eliminate Moments of Choice to preserve your time
Three seconds ago, you had a Moment of Choice.
You had to decide if you were going to click and read this article or not.
Chances are you didn’t pause and say to yourself, “Hmmm, this is a Moment of Choice; what’s my decision? What am I going to choose to do?” Instead, without even thinking, you clicked. And here you are. (Thank you for that.)
This was not your first Moment of Choice of the day, nor will it be your last.
Moments of Choice constantly show up in your life. They are the decision points where you have to choose whether you will do one thing or something else. And often, that something else has the potential to hijack your time.
For example, you will encounter a Moment of Choice when you finish a Zoom call, and it’s time to start writing an email to a client. You could immediately begin working on outlining the email points, or you could decide that it’s an excellent time to see what’s happening on Instagram.
What’s your decision?
