“Roses that are left unpruned can become a tangled mess of old and new canes, all competing for air and light.” – Elizabeth Roth

As the rose bush grows, it creates more buds that it can maintain. It doesn’t grow like a tree, as it’s physical size is limited, but the buds keep on coming. And if we don’t trim the buds down… the whole bush can exhaust itself and die.

Ideas are like rose buds. They constantly need to be “pruned” or trimmed. If we don’t trim our ideas, just like the rose bush, we can overwhelm ourselves.

Growth ideas are natural and it’s completely normal (and a very good thing) for new ones to come on a daily basis. But if we want to reach our full potential, it will require the pruning, trimming, and critical look on what needs to stay… and what needs to go.

“Water the flowers, not the weeds.”

Imagine your vision being a water hose.

And wherever your attention goes, you water.

Whatever we water… grows.

There is truth behind this. Every day, we are going to spend our water (our thoughts), on something. There is a finite amount. If we choose to spend it on the weeds, the negatives in life, those thoughts will grow into reality.

But the opposite is also true.

Check in with ourselves today.

Are we watering the flowers, or the weeds?

“If you want to be truly successful at it, you cannot be content with pretty good.” – Tim Grover

“Pretty good” is decent.

“Pretty good” is average.

“Pretty good” checks the box.

“Pretty good”… is the enemy of excellent.

How we do anything is how we do everything… and there is nothing in life worth doing half-assed.

Reflecting back on this week, let’s be critical with ourselves. What actions this week have been “pretty good”? It’s rare for situations to happen just once. We can almost guarantee they are coming around for a second time sooner than we think. Let’s take those “pretty goods”… to great.

“What is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is seldom important.” – Dwight Eisenhower

Dwight Eisenhower lived one of the most productive lives you can imagine. It comes with no surprise that his methods for time management have been studied by many.

He creates for us a divide between two categories – urgent tasks, and important tasks.

Urgent tasks are things that you feel like you need to react to. Emails, phone calls, texts, “the news”. Meanwhile, important tasks are things that contribute to our long-term goals.

Said another way, urgent things often distract us from important things. They attempt to pull the veil over our eyes and seem like the things we should be doing right now.

If we can cut the fluff – the wasted minutes – and apply those towards what actually moves us forward… we’re in for a great ride. The opposite is also true. If we get caught up in only the urgent tasks, we can go through a whole day, busy-as-ever, and feel like we got nothing done by its end.

Let’s take note of what we do today with a critical eye. Let’s cut the fluff.
