Have you ever gotten to the end of a very busy day wondering why you feel like you didn’t accomplish much?
Its quite possible that instead of being productive with your day, you filled it with time waster after time waster.

Now you might be thinking that you didn’t waste much time today. You didn’t chat with friends, watch TV or YouTube vids. You didn’t even check travel information for that trip you want to go on, or check Craigslist for that elliptical that you have been trying to get at a good price. Infact you feel that you have been pretty work focused all day.

That may be so, but the question is, was your work related activity part of being productive or procrastinating?

How many times did you check your:

• Email?
• Twitter/Facebook/Squidoo/etc?
• Stock/investment portfolios?
• Affiliate programs to see if you have gotten any new affiliate or commissions?
• Newsletter sign up page.

How about watching a informational work related video, or reading some work related post/blogs, when it is not part of your current objective?

How about writing a “useful” post, when you should be working on another task that you have set for yourself? - (OK this one is directed at me personally.. I really should get back to work now.)

Throughout the day it is worthwhile to check in with yourself. Make sure you are on task, and honestly evaluate whether your current activity is task related or just procrastination.

Remember procrastinating, will never lead to success. It will just have you jumping all over the place without focus and proper direction.

Well on that note. I best get back on task or else……

Have a Stupendous Weekend,

I was exchanging some US$ for Can$ this evening. I was looking at the $100 bill and noticed the sentence “In G-d We Trust”. 

I know its there. I’ve seen it before, but this time I really noticed it.

After I left, I just kept on thinking about that line “In G-d We Trust”.

Do we really?

How do we live our lives to show this trust?

Now I am sure most of the people reading this are upright citizens who would never steal.

But what about fudging some numbers on your taxes?

Do you give charity?

I’m sure the list could go on.

How would you act if you did Trust?

How would you fee?

What would the world look like if we lived our lives by this Credo?

Something to think about.

We are constantly told that our lives are a reflection of out thoughts and actions. People who think negatively all the times often lead very sad and depressing lives, and people who think positively often lead very fulfilling lives.

So in your marriage, are you choosing to think lovingly about your spouse?

When you were dating you were always focused on the positive, and as a result you had a beautiful relationship that lead up to marriage.

But then for some reason after marriage we begin to find things that we want to change and correct in our spouse. And then it gets to the point when we stop focusing on the good at all and all we focus on is the bad. We then wonder were the love went.

Try this. Whenever you find you want to correct something in your spouse. First decide if it is really so necessary. In most cases you will find it is never necessary. Second, think positive thoughts about your spouse.

About your husband - Loving, dedicated, handsome, caring, supportive, good father, etc.

About your wife - Beautiful, Loving, graceful, self sacrificing, wonderful mother, etc.

I have often found that when I am starting to feel frustrated about something my spouse does I just begin to focus on how grateful I am that I have been blessed with such a beautiful and amazing wife.

Give it a try. For the next few minutes, just think about how special your spouse is, how fortunate you are to have such a spouse. Reflect on that feeling. I’m sure you’ll agree that it is much better than the feeling you have when you criticize.

You read it correctly. It’s not a typo.
Why is it that people feel that they can make a declaration of their intentions once a year, and all will come to fruition?

If repetition is the mother of learning, then we are going to have to be a little more repetitive about our desires and intentions.

I don’t know about you, but there have been numerous times were I come up with a great post idea, only to have it disappear in my busy mind, because I forgot to lock it in.

If things only had to be stated once to be remembered, day planners would cease to exist.

If you want to achieve, yearly, monthly, weekly and daily objectives, you need to be intentional about what you want and how you are going about doing so.

Here is a 4 step process that you can use to really move forward.

1. Create four folders labeled: 5 year, This year, This Month, and This Week

2. Reflect on what goals you would like in your “Five year” and “This Year” folders.

3. In your “This Month” Folder determine your strategies for the comming month to help you reach your mid to long range goals.

4. In “This Week” Plan out your coming week with your meetings, and actions for the week to help you reach your “This Month”, mid and long term goals.

If you are going to resolve to do something once a year you might as well not bother even making the statement.

If you are going to resolve to do something 52 weeks a year, you are going to succeed.
