Do Less. Great Results. Good Summer!
Unofficial summer has begun. Beach weekends. Cookouts. Touring our Nation’s Capital and beyond. Vacations. School’s out. Summer camps. Weddings. Graduations. Preparing for new beginnings.
Yet, have you still got a business or non-profit to run? How are you doing towards your year’s goals, plans, and intentions? Those ideas you had in January…still in action? Not so sexy as unofficial summer, huh? So where are you stuck, and what’s detoured you?
Let’s look at a couple of ways to stay intentional and in action so that September doesn’t find you in the same position…and disappointed or frustrated at yourself.
One way I stay focused is to do less. You know the to-do lists we generate from our ideas, dreams, goals, and intentions? Well, I pare my list down to the essentials so that I’m not trying to take on unreasonable commitments. I want to enjoy the summer months and motorcycle-riding season without guilt so I try not to plan an overburdened schedule.
The second way I stay intentional and in action is the do’s I do plan I challenge myself to stretch a bit. Rather than take on four small-step “to dos” I challenge myself to take one big-step “to do” – a “do” that stretches me and moves me farther along in itself than the four small-step do’s. That way my one do has wider reach and yields greater results and impact on my business than the small steps.
Here’s an example of my “do less” for this summer. I originally planned to:
- Record a couple of audio recordings as free downloads for fall promotions,
- Research book recommendations and read their condensed versions (through an executive book summary service I make available to my clients); and
- Identify an additional networking group and attend their local meetings within the next 3 months.
Instead, my “do less” big-step do is to host a new radio program. That’s a big do and a major commitment for me, yet it will yield greater results for my business. I’ll reach a wider audience than I would in a networking group (world-wide in addition to local), interview authors who will talk about their book topics, and record weekly broadcasts that listeners have access to over and over again. Hosting a radio program requires more skill (learning!) and coordination than creating simple audio downloads. And it requires reaching out to people I only imagined being able to talk to. It requires my committing to be available at an exact time every week which is scary for me who likes to jump at opportunities when they spring up.
So I challenge you to cut down the number of less-significant “do’s” for the next three months. You’ll free yourself to relax a little which will help you focus on your big do. And you’ll find yourself accomplishing more with less wasteful effort.

Do less. See your dreams, goals, and plans come true for greater results and a good summer!

Dedication to & Lesson from Mom: Choose to Dance
My mother is my inspiration for establishing supportive relationships, a positive work ethic, and getting out to find joy in life.
She is 90 years old in this video. While she has not been able to dance for quite awhile, and as of May 2014 will no longer be able to ever dance again, she embraced the meaning of the words to the song recorded by Lee Ann Womack…“I Hope You Dance”.
When YOU face a decision as to whether to sit down and give up or get out and get moving…I hope YOU choose the later (metaphor = dance!)
Mom…I hope you’re dancing wherever you are now!
Violet Henderson. February 1915-May 2014.
