Jim’s Thought for the Day

It’s great to be well intended, but it doesn’t guarantee success or even meaningful effort. Build habits that help you to know what to do and when to do it. Try this early morning suggestion.

a. Use a Planner daily and refer to it often.  Write with pen and paper (how archaic), utilize a computer, draw pictures on a cave wall (even more archaic), or record on your smart phone, all of your critical priorities and times for attending to them and be sure to repeat them out loud. You are more likely to stay on track when you have visual and audio reminders of your daily priorities and commitments. Always ask; What am I doing? Why am I doing it? What outcome am I striving for? Should I anticipate a positive or negative outcome if I continue with this activity? Questions such as these can be helpful for staying on track and attaining the goal you seek.
