Discover Your Why: Unlocking the Purpose That Drives Your Success!
A Conversation with Faye - Faye's Guest Debbie Small
In this insightful conversation, I speak with Debbie Small, a strategic planner and purpose advocate, about the importance of identifying and living by your "why." Debbie emphasises how clarity of purpose can guide both individuals and organisations to make meaningful decisions, aligning goals with core values to achieve strategic success. We delve into the significance of being present in the moment, the value of learning from the past, and the art of allowing ourselves to slow down despite the rapid pace of life. We also discuss the importance of taking breaks to refresh and maintain creativity, especially for entrepreneurs who tend to get absorbed in their work.
My Takeaways:
Understanding Your "Why":
Having a clear purpose gives direction and motivation, ensuring that every action aligns with personal and organizational values.
Living in the Present:
Being in the moment helps slow down time and enhances focus, as the past can only teach us lessons, and the future is unknown.
Learning from Past Experiences:
Reflect on past events to gain insights and shape a better future, rather than dwelling on what can’t be changed.
Taking Intentional Breaks:
Regular breaks are essential to refresh the mind, prevent burnout, and bring new perspectives to ongoing tasks.
Creating Boundaries for Work and Breaks:
Setting a timer or alarm can help maintain balance, ensuring productivity without excessive strain.
Boosting Creativity through Variety:
Step away from the screen or workspace to reawaken creativity, allowing for fresh ideas and approaches.
Being Mindful of Hyper-Focus:
Entrepreneurs often become intensely focused on tasks, so mindful breaks can help reset and recharge effectively.
Importance of Physical Movement:
Incorporating physical movement, even brief, boosts energy levels, clears mental clutter, and keeps the mind sharp.
Refreshing Perspective by Changing Tasks:
Switching between tasks after a break can add a fresh approach to each one and improve overall productivity.
Finding a Balanced Workflow:
Tailoring break intervals—whether every 30, 60, or 90 minutes—can improve focus, energy, and creativity throughout the day.
This conversation is a powerful reminder of the need to be intentional with time, purpose, and work habits, ultimately enhancing both personal and professional well-being.
