The more I work from a list, the more work I get done in no time!
It's incredible how much work we can do when we start by jotting down everything we want to do, then organize and prioritize all the tasks and then act on them until the list is done.
I was amazed this week when I wrapped up in less than 15-20 minutes what I thought would have taken me a long time! JUST AMAZING!

I found "why" people don't move forward in life
From a Jim Rohn's seminar, most people focus on past things that happened to them or are tripped in present routine where they can't focus on their future.
They keep on thinking back on why something in the past happened to them or who is to blame. It hit me a lot because that is what I've been trying to figure out lately. Why this? Why that? Why people don't understand a thing? Well that looks like a good start of answering those questions for me. It's probably not all but it gives me some clues for sure.
So for me and for other people who want to move forward in their lives, the main thing is to make sure we keep on looking at the future. We need to act to achieve our goals which will help us along the way like a "magnet" but also to pull us through all the obstacles along the way!
"Make sure the greatest pull of yourself is the pull of the future towards your goals."

In a slump
I've just listened today to a audio recording from the 2004 Jim Rohn's event in Anaheim, CA about being in a slump when we don't have goals lined up.
It is really important after achieving a goal to rebound with another one and another one and so on. They took the example of professional sports team which can't repeat after winning a title. Why? They can't reproduce the efforts of dreaming and going after a goal since they already achieved one. They are already on the top of the mountain or they have already been there.
If they don't have new and different goals to go after, even if with the same players, they won't be able to perform like they did just less than a year ago.
We need a exhaustive list of goals in order not to be missing ones when we start to check them off of our list.

A chapter per half a day
My goal is to read two full chapters from two different books per day.
I can focus on one book for one or two hours and then I get a little tired (mostly mentally) to read the next one. Since I usually read late in the afternoon or at night, it's even harder to keep my focus.
I had this idea yesterday. Simple and supposedly efficient:
=> I'm only going to read a chapter per half day (around 11am or 11.30am and 6. or 6.30pm)
Advantage: I will change positively my daily activities (which always help me get going since I don't really like doing the same thing over and over again).
That's what I'm going to do for now on!

Momentum
I'm still struggling in doing things done (especially the most important ones) and get going.
A little bit everyday or every morning gets me started. I should start and work from a list. I'm not too focused and committed about it even if I did it and it worked really well for me.
I really need to get going when the emotions are high and I feel like it. As of today, this is what is working for me. Moving forward and in a matter of couple days, I will be able to be committed to work only from a list and get going. Moreover, I will be able to not only doing it for couple hours or only a day but for a week, a month than a year and so forth.
I'm already liking this thought!
