Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath: How to Simplify Year-End Without Dropping the Ball

Lead and Lift

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

Prioritizing the tasks with the highest impact
Categorizing your tasks through the 4D system
Manage your energy, not your time
Eliminating unrealistic expectations

Key Takeaways:

Focus on the one most impactful task each day. Identify the "needle mover" that will have the biggest domino effect on your other tasks. Don't get bogged down in trying to multitask - prioritize this one key task and tackle it first before moving on to other items.
Use the 4D system to categorize your tasks - do, delegate, delay, or delete. This helps you reduce decision fatigue and focus your energy on the essential tasks you need to personally complete. Don't be afraid to ask for help from others to delegate certain items.
Manage your energy levels, not just your time. Pay attention to when you have high energy versus low energy periods during the day. Schedule your most important, cognitively-demanding work for your high energy times to maximize productivity and avoid burnout.
Eliminate "shoulds" and unrealistic expectations. Let go of outdated beliefs or societal pressures that are weighing you down. Focus on aligning your tasks and goals with your true values and priorities. Celebrate small wins along the way rather than waiting for the big goal to be achieved.

"It's not about doing more, but it's about doing what matters with intention. So take action on the steps that I shared with you today, and watch how small, focused efforts are going to lead you to big wins."

Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath: Ready to Let Go? 5 Things to Release Before the New Year

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

Clearing out your suitcase to prepare for the new year
From unrealistic expectations to realistic boundaries
Decluttering your physical and digital spaces
Resetting your mindset and practicing forgiveness

Key Takeaways:

Let go of your guilt from unfinished projects before the new year starts. Clear out your “overstuffed suitcase” so that you can make space for new achievements. Write down three achievements from the year and celebrate their progress.
Set boundaries to avoid burnout and perfectionism. Identify unrealistic expectations and replace them with realistic boundaries. Limit your time with toxic people to maintain a positive and energized state.
Dedicate 15 minutes to clear up physical clutter in your workspace and home to improve your overall productivity. Clean environment brings forth fresh ideas. Declutter digital spaces such as your email as well. Unsubscribe from unwanted email lists.
Reset your mindset by practicing self-forgiveness and forgiveness towards others. Apply this by writing a forgiveness letter to yourself or others to release negative thoughts and emotions. Read new books monthly to grow skills, think positively, and create a more positive mindset for the new year.

"You can't step into the next chapter holding on to everything from the past, letting go of guilt, clutter, and outdated expectations. It isn't just about clearing space, but what it does is it gives you renewed energy. It increases your joy and it increases your power. You deserve to enter the new year feeling lighter, freer, and more aligned to the life that you want to create for yourself." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath
