Day 31
4th Aug 2011
Many of us evaluate our abilities based on what we have already achieved. But achievers stretch themselves to new heights. We like to operate from `comfort zone'. Great achievers challenge their endurance and test their ability to stand very high tension and pressure.
You have to come out of your comfort zone and set what is called `stretch goals'. Stretch goals are targets which are little more than you can achieve with ease. For example, if you are reading about one hundred pages in four hours, you should stretch to read the same in less than three hours. If you walk about seven kilometres per day in your morning walk, try if you can do nine kilometres.
Today we live in a world of opportunities and we have to produce more output with less resource in order to survive the competition. Else, we will be eliminated.
Over this weekend, take three tasks which you are handling currently and see if you can stretch yourself by fixing tight targets. This approach will push you out of your comfort zone and make you to organise yourself even better.
