Getting used now working from a written plan, I also need to watch the time I schedule for each task.
My time management is not yet to its best and when I schedule one hour to do a task, I need to control myself not being carried away doing the task. Having a high time management IQ is essential for me getting a lot more done overall.

Natural evolution
I guess the best way to get better would be to take a look at what Mother Nature has done.
To put it in a simple way, every thing she has done so far has been through a simple process and some patience. One thing at a time.
It's much harder to do a simple thing every day for 30 days and gets 30 items than to have 10 items in two consecutive days and only get 20 items after 30 days.
Like Jim Rohn used to say:"Success is just simple disciplines repeated every day".
I know I can do a much better job at that and develop simple disciplines.

Evolution and emotions
This is a graphic of my evolution as far as posting on my blog. It's obvious watching this that I did struggle last month.
I had some tough times to deal with emotionally. It is part of anyone's life and at the same time I need to do a way much better job to overcome those emotional obstacles, no matter what the situation is. I need to make sure my job gets done at the end of the day.
I can't no longer let my emotions take over and control my actions. I still can be touched by life but not stopped!

Always give my all
Very quick post here to mention that I realized today (thinking out loud) that the more often I give just a little bit less than my all, the more my activities, results or motivation go down as well.
Like Jim Rohn used to say:"Every thing affects every thing".

New method
After watching again a classic Jim Rohn event (the one in Dallas in 2001), I found out interesting that a lot of the main thing he said was at the end. Not that he didn't say much in the first parts of the program (on the contrary!) but he summed up a lot and that helps to get started in the "Personal Development quest". At least, he does for me and maybe for other people.
I'll make a post about it after summing up what he said to give it away in bullet-points
I will also put it on my wall to have it in front of me all the time and apply it on me.

Ups and downs
I'm trying to write at least as many post on my blog than I did the last month.
In April, it was the first time since my first couple months writing that I wrote less (way less!) than the previous month, which was a good month writing for me!
I guess, it goes up and down depending on our family and personal life. I didn't have a great month in April personally. At the same time, it's part of life and every body goes through it and deals with the same fortune or miss-fortune around them.
My main mistake I guess was not to have followed my written plan as closely as I should and could have done.
Any big company can't find or accept random excuses on why they fail to meet their goals. I just have to make sure it doesn't happen again and find no excuse to do the same anymore!
Writing right now is a proof of my intent of doing a better job and at the same time, I need to improve on my time management skills and moreover, on getting results!

"Don't look for the exotic until you discover the basics"
This is a Jim Rohn quote that I like a lot. Playing basketball when I was a little boy, my Dad used to tell me something very similar to this. He was telling me not to try complicated moves but to try first the simple ones, and then try the more difficult shots.
Maybe it's just a part of the human nature to go after something that is more than what we can do, comprehend or accomplish at first! Even though, (and I'm working on that) we have to find a way to understand the basics first so we can move on the next level of difficulty.
It's hard for me to discipline myself but I just have to do it! It's like trying to run under 10 seconds a 100-meter race before learning how to walk! I know it's an extreme analogy but I guess my point is clear now!
