A pat on the back, a kind word, recognizing effort...all these go a long way in gaining and maintaining momentum on your goals. Recognize that we live in a world of more, now, faster; often, we forget to reflect.
You may not have a "vice president of completion" on your staff (although I think it might be a good idea). But, you do have your own inner committee. For the next week, consider identifying places you made progress - it could be an effective meeting you attended, it might be a report you completed. Whatever it is, take time to acknowledge what you have done.
Success begets success; win, and you will win again. I remember one golf professional telling me that he has one room in his house dedicated to his past wins. Now, as a course pro and club manager, he says he frequently goes into that room to "remember."
"When I'm in there," he told me, "I'm reminded that I was successful at least a few times before. And, if I did it then, I can do it again."
Acknowledge your past wins and bring the energy of that momentum to a current project.
Great points, Jason. Reminds me of the fact that we always need to be our own best (and constant) cheerleader. By the way, LOVE the new title for the website.
