Hi Yall : ]

Seems to me that a start of a format is happening.

I am enjoying earning new tricks of the trade in terms of financials, progress, personal achievements, etc. It has been great to now catch the process more effectively. Where in the past I would live in my procrastination for days sometimes months. Now I have clear measures in place to counter any sort of procrastination or what I call deflecting harder aspects of my Ultimate Goals. I realize that happens because I have overloaded my thoughts with all these complex tasks. I mean who can do a full page of tasks that require all these additives and subsidiary information and research. It then becomes a cobweb of destruction ;)

Instead, take all those ideas, to dos, maybes etc. and bring it down to what is most important NOW!!! Without this you are doomed to fall prey to the seductive lure of procrastination and for some (not me) the downward spiral of self in all aspects of you professional/personal lives. You multiply the problem and denied any growth.

Well, the best part of all that is that it is yours; you created & nurtured it. You can change it.

Today's Info:

1. Change one thing at a time>>>>try doing 1%-5% of a task in 1/2 hr      increments. That will add up quickly and in 1 hr or less task done>>> Automate Your Process.


2. PrioritizeTasks>>>>>Make a list of three most important. From the      three, pick one that needs to be done that day {don't list complex projects]. Write It Down!!!! Prioritize Written Plan.


3. Don't waste time waiting around>>>

3a use Ask & Chop to avoid procrastination.

Ask what is the first step to be taken then Chop off when completed.

Then repeat the question.

3c. Set your Game Clock. Put a timer on Everything you do.

3d. Pre-Structure your meetings/appointments/communications with

questions to ask, comments, etc.

4. Create a Ritual. Usually best to make that an Active thang, Wake up 2 hours earlier, workout for 1 hour, start you day. DONE!

Imagine your new self as a Healthy, Productive & Confident Person

5. Self=Evaluation>>>>Focus on Process and not just results. Learn what works best.

Create a Success Log - evaluate your progress and adjust as needed. Write Down on heading of every page: My Realistic Goals: ASK: 1) What did I do well today 2) What is one aspect I would like to improve 3) IS there one thing I can do differently.

6. How you think and talk with yourself can lead to success or failure. To achieve a goal; focus on a Solution. Take task step by step, think positively and work out a gradual solution.

Appreciate when you do well

7. Seek to be Abnormal. Look for ways around the challenge. Take accountability for yourself. Pay attention to what you can control and the parts of your lives that you can improve.
