This is a review of each component of REBEL,  a process I use to help clients with ADHD  get things done.

B stands for Balanced Attack

Exercise the weak muscle.

Set aside time to plan, review, remember, reflect, adjust, organize, prioritize.

Set aside time to work on the important and not urgent tasks (Covey’s Quad II items).

David Allen addresses these two categories as-

Defining Work and Doing Defined Work

Global Creatives like to spend time in his third category – Doing Work as it Shows Up

An approach I like to ‘Doing Defined Work’ is to name one intention for each day (preferably in the AM) that is important but not urgent.  Set aside one hour at first and then build on that.  So regardless of what happens the rest of the day you atleast got your one intention time in.

The key is to do it before you start cranking up your big responder muscle-responding to requests, emails, ‘crises’

You may be saying- “I don’t have time for this Cam!”

That is your urgent brain speaking.  Unless you are a fire fighter or a ER doctor you have the time.  What is helpful here are motivators other than urgency.

Soon I will post my “5 C’s of Completion” Document which touches on motivators other than urgency.
