I read somewhere that whatever you concentrate on you will see. Lately I have been concentrating on goal setting. It seems after a lot of reading what I keep getting over and over is that unless you focus on a maximum of three goals and push aside everything else you will be ineffective. Everywhere I look I seem to be being reinforced that this is the path I should choose. I was even flipping through books at Costco and opened a goal setting book and it landing on a table saying if you had 2-3 goals you will accomplish 2-3 goals. If you have 10-20 goals you will accomplish 0 goals.
I can define my main life goals down to 2. Putting this into practice in every day life is daunting. I sit down and I try to write my goals for the day but often I come up blank. How do you follow your life goals and deal with everyday life and the normal stuff that comes up, this is where I am still struggling. It works for a day or two then I fall of the wagon and it takes me a week to get back on.
I truly believe this is what I have to do. Like dieting I have to have the faith that eventually I will find a system that will work. I was listening to something the other day and she said you can look at my schedule but it will never work for you because it is mine. Schedules are personal, how you schedule is personal. I have to continue to take in information until I find the right arrangement for me.
Today I am grateful for an absolutely wonderful weekend with my family, even an evening alone with just my husband.
