 Today was a good day.

I did not get as much done as I wanted to but I was still able to cross items off my list.

I was able to get out and exercise, network and continue to make progress on my goals.

What did I learn today?

I need to get over the fear of making other people mad. I have been holding a lot of things back trying to protect people but in reality, it is really just hurting them. What I need to do is be honest but be honest in a way that shows I care.

Not every day is going to be one where you knock it out of the park. That does not mean we should not try. The key is to give your effort every day and do what you can. Then evaluate what worked and what did not work. For me what I have realized is waking up and trying to plan my day does not work. I need to plan it for the night before. I have also learned I need to just follow the dang list.

I need constant reminders. I know I talked about this yesterday but this is on a different level. Yesterday I talked about how you need to plan out what you are going to do each day. That you need to plan out what you will focus on each hour.

What I realize today is I need to get the ideas out of my head. Things like, what do I need in my house, things I want to do, articles or books I want to read, and other items. The problem is that I always think of these things when it is not the right time. That is why I have started the book “Getting Things Done” by David Allen. It has been truly life-changing.

Something is better than nothing. I used to not do something at all because I did not have enough time and guess what? It never got done. I kept waiting for the time where I had all the time and I never did. So something is better than nothing.
