How to Optimize Your Winter Break

If you’re like me you can’t wait until break when your amidst exams just so you can get to implement your ideas. However, if you’re also like me, you feel a strong urge to just “veg” out over winter break with your new plasma TV (like this guy). It can be hard to stay focused on your winter goals especially with family around on the holidays. Here are some tips to keep you focused and productive over this winter break (that I myself will attempt to implement):

  • PUT THE SIGN UP. Motivational posters tend not to be a permanent motivating force, but if you can manage to put up a sign on your bathroom mirror that reminds you every morning of what your goal for break is in one sentence, then that can be very effective. Personally, mine is going to be taken from Steve Jobs: “If today was your last day on Earth, is how you are about to spend it the way you would?”
  • SET YOUR GOALS. Set your goals for the next day, the night before. If you’ve never done this before try it for 28 days and make it a habit. Also, have specific goals that you want to reach over winter break.Whether that means travelling to certain cities or meeting a certain sales goal, write it all down.
  • BET AGAINST FAILURE: To ensure yourself some motivation in reaching your goals, why not bet failure against the one thing you as an entrepreneur are afraid to lose the most? Write out a check of a significant amount of money and give it to a friend that you trust. Tell them that they are allowed to cash that check for themselves or for a charity you’d like if you do not reach your particular goals. This can prove to be a very motivating technique.

Did you make (or where did you get) that Winter Break ’06 graphic? It’s very cool

Hey Nate,

I just found out doing an image search for “winter break” on Yahoo!. I thought it looked pretty cool too.
