Day 2

Well here we are at day 2. Glad you came back! Now if this is your first day on the site please don't use the excuse that you can't get started because you didn't start on day one! The beauty is that you can still start today!

Today is the day for you to actually WRITE DOWN some of the areas that you want to take to next level and then we will start to tackle it bit by bit. Remember....BABY STEPS!

So here's my suggestions/assignments for you today.....

  • purchase a journal to keep everything in one place (if you already have one, great!) If you're more of a legal pad kinda girl that's fine too. However sticky notes are forbidden for this part!

  • set aside 60 minutes (one block of time, 2-30minute slots or 4-15 minutes slots) and dedicate it to focusing on this assignment. Use a timer & STOP when time is up!

  • think of THREE (3) things you have been putting off that you want to get done TODAY! Period! End of discussion! Not tomorrow but TODAY!

  • Finally, don't beat yourself up that you haven't done these things prior to today!

Now, in your journal think about the things/area(s) you have decided to focus on and write those down. Some examples:

  • I want to write my friends more

  • Take photography class

  • Try pilates

  • Teach a Cooking Class

  • Lose 5 lbs

Next create a Master TO DO List for that area! For example:

  • What you want to do: Photography Class

  • Master List: research best camera to buy, purchase camera, google photography classes in my area, sit in on a class, etc...

After you have completed the master list you need to prioritize how you will tackle this list. I suggest you only attempt to tackle 6 things per day max. Finally, place those action items ON YOUR CALENDAR IN A TIME SLOT! Otherwise they end up stuck on your TO DO list! For example:

September 2, 2008 @ 11:30--Grab Lunch & go to Best Buy to look at cameras.... Get the idea!?

As for the 3 things I mentioned....Tackle 3 things you have been putting off and DO IT TODAY! You know these 3 items off the top of your head because they have been bugging you for days (maybe weeks or months) put it on your calendar and get it done TODAY

Here's my 3:

  • Find a new dentist.... My Dentist vanished into the thin air and I haven't found one I love as much yet! I'm open to referrals (hee hee)
  • Get copy of my credit report
  • Get the touch-up paint for the dang nail holes that are driving me crazy!

Remember you can post your comments, questions and/or ideas! BEST TO YOU!
