Facebook violence

I think the fairest assessment of this week is that it was completely filled with the school start of my son.

Funny how getting him out of the house has slowed down my progress so much, but I think it had more to do with the fact that I took time out to clear some of the clutter that has built up around the house lately. Besides my mother was visiting from Norway so that she could be here on his first day of school.

Other than that I have been wasting time trying to figure out why facebook is so popular. sod knows it's hardly a place to make money.

I think I might get bored with sitting at home, doing research, writing articles and browsing facebook now that my son is off to school every day.

I might just take a part time job or something just to get out of the house.

Although I should really get cracking on those sodded xsitepro templates.

I re-read that sentence and know full well that unless I put checks in place to make sure that those templates are my focus there is no way that it will get done.

So do you want a tips that I am learning to apply? (a thank you goes out to my PA, who I shall be calling ET from now on. )

I can't believe it took a simple instruction from ET to get me to apply this, because it is so incredibly obvious. Actually you may think it is so obvious it won't work, but it actually does.

The most powerful element in any kind of adventure, business or otherwise is focus. I think someone smarter than me once described it as "focused and determined action", but I will just call it focus.

The second element is time. As long as you give any given length of time a specific focus point you will progress towards it with the help of taking determined action to take you in the direction of what you are focusing on.

I have always had a problem with setting long term goals. I think I have just had a light bulb moment when I wrote "give any given length of time..." because it dawned on me that I can use the same principle on long term goals; what is the ONE thing I want to achieve this month, year, 3- year period? At the moment I am only using it on a daily or weekly basis, but there is no reason why it can't work on longer periods of time. In fact I know it does, because I can think of two people who every year decide to learn ONE new thing, and decide to learn it well.

I've digressed a little bit from what I wanted to share, and that was this lesson;
give every single day ONE overriding topic/focus/action point. Or in other words ask yourself:


If I can only achieve ONE thing tomorrow, which thing should it be?



Cheers,
Jon ( still progressing )

PS - Oh, and make sure you write that ONE thing down in your diary! that is what ET told me to do!
