It keeps my mind occupied, sharp and focused me on my goals. But it is only by the constant organization and adjustment that I can keep things going in the right direction for sustained periods of time. Listen and learn about what has worked for me and see if you to can benefit from setting high standards and trying to achieve them.   “Block out some time to do something for yourself or just even to educate yourself on something that you feel would make you more interesting or happier. These things are critical for your own personal growth and to help you to become a more interesting, happy person.” - Gregory Paul   What do you want to hear from the Pitching the Truth podcast? Tell us here!   We know, for a fact, that some are good at handling multiple tasks at the same time. But for those who cannot, what now? Anyone of us can be guilty of this, and I know we want to break free. These and more, we will be talking in this episode. Here are three helpful tips you can do yourself to stop you from wandering too far off and instead, focus and concentrate on one goal at a time:    Focus on your personal time.  You have to lay out an agenda as to what you think is important for you to the goal that you want to achieve that week. Focus and try to make sure that you have dedicated time for it.    Everything begins with a schedule.  You have to plan. You have to stick to the plan. If you don’t plan and there is no structure, the chance at success is hard and slim.        Follow through and implement.  Sticking to the plan is one thing. Getting things performing and going is the essential part of the task because if you don’t try, you’re not going to know if you succeed or not.        Be ready to bail out.  Little things like that small slight adjustments are necessary and are ready to bail on something that's really not working or not serving you, or you quickly realize may or may not be where you want to be is also very, very important.   So overall, it's important that you pay attention to what you want to achieve. Being an overachiever is not a bad thing. Being an average achiever is not a bad thing either depending on how you want to live your life. Now, take these four easy steps to avoid overwhelm and become an overachiever.   Resources   Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind And Defy The Odds  by David Goggins    Connect with Gregory Paul  veracitygp.com Twitter Instagram Pitching the Truth Podcast]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">2ce49464026b4b67bfa5ca799458fbad</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Mar 2019 10:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/17480670/ep40_how_to_conquer_being_an_overachiever_to_breed_success.mp3" length="19321653" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Gregory Paul</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>I have been a constant overachiever most of my life and welcome the pressure I put on myself every day.

Focus and try to make sure that you have dedicated time for it.    Everything begins with a schedule.  You have to plan. You have to stick to the plan. If you don’t plan and there is no structure, the chance at success is hard and slim.        Follow through and implement.  Sticking to the plan is one thing. Getting things performing and going is the essential part of the task because if you don’t try, you’re not going to know if you succeed or not.        Be ready to bail out.  Little things like that small slight adjustments are necessary and are ready to bail on something that's really not working or not serving you, or you quickly realize may or may not be where you want to be is also very, very important.   So overall, it's important that you pay attention to what you want to achieve. Being an overachiever is not a bad thing. Being an average achiever is not a bad thing either depending on how you want to live your life. Now, take these four easy steps to avoid overwhelm and become an overachiever.   Resources   Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind And Defy The Odds  by David Goggins    Connect with Gregory Paul  veracitygp.com Twitter Instagram Pitching the Truth Podcast]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>806</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/c2d04b1d308d3a598526b47f8f8661b5.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><googleplay:author>Gregory Paul</googleplay:author><googleplay:description>I have been a constant overachiever most of my life and welcome the pressure I put on myself every day.

But at the end of the day it really can sneak up on you, kinda like what happened to me.  ”- Greg Kotsaftis  “Before you can start to healing is accepting what’s happening to yourself. Facing the truth head on and just moving forward from it.” -Nurse Niki “It is so much easier and so much clarity in your mind, so much more ability to think and be happy when you say the gross truth. You can sleep better at night.” - Greg Kotsaftis   Connect with Niki Lee:  nursenikitalk@gmail.com     Connect with Greg Kotsaftis:  veracitygp.com Twitter Instagram Pitching the Truth Podcast  The Truth about Lies Book</googleplay:description><googleplay:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/e7dc71a9690f3f84b649edfb39597d57.jpg"/><googleplay:explicit>No</googleplay:explicit></item><item><title>Ep32.

Habits for Success – Inspired Ideas to Help You Soar  with G. Brian Benson</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/user/10584070/ep31-habits-for-success-inspired-ideas-t</link><description><![CDATA[G.Brian Benson is an award-winning and #1 best-selling author, life coach, radio host, actor, filmmaker, and TEDx speaker. He knows the value of trusting intuition and wants to share his journey of self-growth, discovery, and accomplishment to help others reconnect with their truths to live an authentic and fulfilling life. As a 4x Ironman triathlete and cross-country bicyclist, Brian knows the value of hard work and never giving up on his dreams, a message he shares with audiences through each of his creative expressions. His mission is to wake up the world with intelligent, thought-provoking media that inspires. In 2008, Brian followed a hunch and left his family’s business, stepping into the unknown. Ever since inspiration has followed. Letting intuition be his guide, he began to step out of his comfort zone, and unexpected paths and talents started to emerge such as writing, acting, and crafting stories. Tapping into this emerging creativity, Brian began his own hero’s journey of self-realization and growth, which continues to influence his empowering and inspiring books, films, and presentations.   “Balance is huge for me as much as maintaining my creativity.” – G.
