Are you being a hamster of wheel?

“I put in so much time and effort and I am just getting no where!!! 😣😣😣

Ever have those times when you are working hard on something and you just get road blocked after road blocked?

Or times when there is a problem and you feel that you are digging a hole deeper and deeper?

Frustrated and exhausted 😩.

All that effort and no progress!

I regularly self check-in and ask myself if I am spinning like the proverbial “hamster on a wheel”, running hard thinking that I’m going somewhere but actually I’m going no where!

How do I self check in? I have “thinking time”. I regularly blocked out time in my diary to stop and reflect on what I am doing. Sometimes I call mentors and friends to get their outsider perspective.

I ask myself if I’m being a “hamster” and if I am then to get off the bl*#%@ wheel!!!

Only in getting off the wheel, I get clarity to think think strategically on how to effectively solve the problems and get to the desired outcome.

Have thinking time. Don’t be a hamster on wheel.
