Ellen's Eight Counter-Intuitive Steps

Dear Girlfriends,

Over the past several months, I've found truth in some counter-intuitive principles. Take this one for example: To get more done - stop working. Once I shortened my work day, I began to accomplish more. By limiting my available hours to work, I became both more focused and more efficient, and the result is a far more productive work day. And not only do I complete a greater volume of work - I find the quality of my labor investment has improved, as well. Stop working to get more done. Who woulda' thought?

I think the concept of living intentionally is a bit counter-intuitive, too. Although many of us grasp the big picture, sometimes we're a bit foggy on how to best go about living on purpose rather than just having life happen to us.

So, if you're up for it, we're going to dig in on an eight-week series called Living Intentionally. The counter-intuitive principles will include: 

  1. Fake it.
  2. Scrap your priorities.
  3. Stay behind.
  4. Break a hip.
  5. Whine.
  6. Be confused.
  7. Disappoint someone.
  8. Spend it all today.
No, these are not the topics you usually find in a self-help book, but I hope as we delve into these topics you'll be able to recognize and live out your truths of living intentionally.


Clear in my confusion,
Ellen

Stop working! I love the idea. I do get a lot done on Fridays when I'm so excited to start the weekend. I can't wait to hear the rest of the topics. Keep it coming!
