“Action brings clarity.”

Think about something in your life you need more clarity about. Identify and schedule 2 actions you can take to help get clear. For example, “I may want to move to XYZ job.” 2 actions might be setting up time to talk with 2 friends in the industry.

Quote of the Day:

The Habit Poem 

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me,
and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great men.
And, alas, of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine.
Plus, the intelligence of a man.
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet.
Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
Who am I?

I am a HABIT! 

Reflection: Jot down a few notes in your journal. Which of your habits help you? Which habits get in your way?

Tuesday

Action: Get creative. Get a blank sheet of paper and take 10 minutes to massage a creative idea you have. Do a mind-map, brain-dump, list, picture, sketch, or however you like to get creative.

Monday

Make a list of the decisions you have been avoiding. Pick one that you'd like to make today. Create a pro and con list. Make the decision. (Note: Do this one when you're fresh.)
