Laurie – Having the courage to commit to oneself is the essence of honor. You have what it takes. Continue being bold.

Christine – Both mistake-making and blocking out the time are tools that keep me on track. One reminds us to play lightly and the other brings focus.

Stacey – The timer works because it gives an intense urgency to what we want. I agree less is more. If you are choosing priorities it all works out well.

I recently started setting a timer and that method works very well for me. I work best with deadlines, and setting a timer provides a deadline for completion. I also (try to) cut down how much I complete in a day, otherwise the list is overwhelming. For the past few weeks my focus has been on one thing, a book series, which will be available soon. When we get out of our own way, completion has many rewards!

The #3 strategy step is so key--I always find myself so productive when I schedule out time blocks of the things I need to do and stick to it. I like your mention of "increased mistakes." Reminds me of the saying about how "failing forward" is actually a good thing. Christine Gallaghers last blog post..The Art of Social Marketing

WOW Tom! Great points. I found “Commitment is your assurance that you can trust yourself,” a real profound statement. I had never thought about keeping my commitment to myself like that before.

I just completed 6 days of presentations and I am beat. Most of them were out of town. It feels so great to have completed this heavy week and been told I did a great job. While I am so tired, it is a good tired, feeling success and confident that I can do hard things and do them well if I commit to it!

Sara – Glad to help. The simplest strategies can make a world of difference.

Alex – I’m please the beating is kept to a minimum.

Suzanne – I’m obviously not counting the completion of powerful coaching sessions for this strategy. So I think you have more because our business models are different. Regardless of how many you select. Be sure to select the most pivotal completions for you.

Daphne – Hope you’ve completed some powerful ones by now. Self honor rocks!

Matt – Mistakes are good! Expansion happens when things don’t work. That’s why “it’s all good” is such powerful advice.

I really like your point in "Energy of Decision". Making mistakes or experiencing setbacks allows us to view things a different way and brings to light other ways of doing something (thus, reveals more options). This is very true and is a great way to look at mistakes...an opportunity to come up with more ideas. Matt Thomass last blog post..6 Things NOT to do After Experiencing Success

Tom, I love the practical steps you specified, especially the first 3. Just do 2 things a day (or even 1!), know what completion looks like, and sets a timer. Works for me! Great advice. Will also start thinking about the next two steps which I don't usually consider, so I learnt something. Thanks! Daphnes last blog post..How To Find Happiness That Lasts

Tom – I would have to scale WAY back to do only 2 completions per day. But as I think about it – that might be exactly what I need to do!

As I gain clients I’ll cut back on things but as I build I have on the go: an ebook, my fiction, a client project, my blog and related marketing stuff, and (until today) English classes to prepare.

I try to move each thing forward at least “block” (whatever that means for the particular project) every day, but I don’t beat myself (much) when I don’t.
