REBEL is a process I share with clients in the early stages of our coaching.  It is quite useful for Global Creatives wanting a more balanced and consistent approach to their work day.  Today I share the entire strategy.  Over the next several weeks I will expand on each component.

Would love to hear your feedback!

The Process that I embrace is REBEL

Think about what you are doing or would like to do in each area

 

R

Remember to Remind the Brain

Memory is a big component of ADHD.  Remind self of values, commitments/intentions, strategies/best practices, worst practices, misteps, what you are up to, priorities, work actions that contribute to: bottom line, adding value for customer, contributing to development of client or company.

A Weekly Review is excellent opportunity to do this.  Can offset pull of immediate gratification.

Expand the Mind

Expand what is possible

Our black and white thinking tells us there are two options. Full out or dead stop.  There is a middle ground to explore.

Loosen up vs. tighten down.  We tend to just try harder when we run into an obstacle.  This is about trying different.

 

Clear out the clutter

A more practical exercise is to literally empty the brain-get stuff out of head and in to safe place.  Develop a reliable task & time manager outside the head.

 

B

Balanced Attack

Exercise the weak muscle.  Set aside time to plan, review, remember, reflect, adjust, organize, prioritize.  Tracking may not be a strong suit but you can develop ways to manage and track papers and information.

 

E

Exposure

Exposure of time-how do you get things done.  How do you not get things done.  Where are you efficient and effective, where do you lollygag.  Find time-bleeders. 

 

Exposure to new experiences.  Get out there and do it.  Too much planning will kill good actions.  Put the ball in play!

 

L

Limit Scope

A necessity in order to complete.  Limiting allows us to be more selective.  When we say no to one thing we say yes to something else.  When completion replaces urgency as a motivator we move to a new level of operating that includes choice and creativity.  Actively being selective leads to richer more fulfilling experiences and outcomes.
