When listening to Steve Jobs's iconic speech introducing the iPhone in 2007 (source), something bothered my ear. I searched for instances of "uh" and "uhm" in the script and found 80 of them! Well, it's definitely not a polished speech to any speech coach, but nobody cares. The speech becomes the most exemplary marketing speech everyone remembers, even if it's not perfect. Why do we need to chase perfection? 

A great presenter is not one with many techniques but with passion and belief in what they say. The conviction drives perseverance, battles with discouragement, and leads to self-confidence that unlocks opportunities. The problem becomes how to become self-confident. 

Psychologists have been using guided images or visualization techniques to help people. If we can't picture ourselves achieving a goal, chances are we won't. "Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live. Do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. Revalue yourself and they will confirm the change" (Feeling Is The Secret by Neville Goddard ). Start with envisioning goals in life and picturing our identity in detail. Imagine what it looks like when we accomplish each one of them. 

Visualize positive visions in everyday life: getting things done, enjoying moments with family... 

We need to be organized to stay productive, but it is counterproductive if we over-organize ourselves. The following are some examples: 

• Stress formal structure, status, rules, and details excessively.
• Put everything in order at all times and make it become a burden. An example is to create a shopping list and cooking recipes in Notion. 
• Clean up emails every day. 
• Clean up each room and feel exposited. 

How to detect that we are over-organized? The simple approach is to feel the process. If we feel stressed and do not focus on the main goals, we need to consider it might be a problem. In this case, we can relax the rules and routines. Allow the temporary chaos to Stay in control in the long run, not every minute. 

Organizing is to boost productivity and release stress. If organizing becomes a burden and makes us stressed. We would stop and think again.
