Backspace

Posted on Apr 26, 2010 | 0 comments

Have you ever consciously thought about the most harmful key on your keyboard? C’mon….how can a key be harmful, right? Think about it and I’ll give you the answer in just a moment.

But first let’s assume there are two points in space. The first point is where you are at right now. The second point is where you dream to go. The shortest path between two points is a straight line. The analogy of course is that to achieve your dreams in the shortest amount of time you need to put and keep yourself on that straight line.

Unfortunately, life happens. People happen. Business happens.

Before you know it, you are wandering aimlessly off-course or even backwards.

From a keyboard perspective, the backwards wandering part is the often used backspace key. Think about how often you use the backspace key (now commonly labeled the delete key) while you are typing. Every time that you hit the backspace (delete) key it interrupts your flow of thought and causes you time to regain your mojo.

Use of the backspace (delete) key should be avoided or at least minimized in order to continue plowing forward in your typing and worry about edits at the end. Give this some thought. Take the backspace key out of your daily actions and watch as you achieve your goals in rapid succession.
