THE LASER SAILOR AND THE LIFE COACH CHAPTER 8
Behavior modification and goal setting.
Sit down with a big pile of paper, pencils and erasers.
On the first sheet list these five areas- 1) Relationships, 2) Work, 3) Play, 4)Money, and 5)Health. List what you would like to do in each area. List and revise. Erase and scratch out.
On the next sheet write down where you would like to be with each of the five areas in 5 years. That is the 5 year plan. The next sheet after the five year plan is the one year plan.
The following sheet is the 6 month plan. Another sheet is the one month plan.
Then another sheet for the one week plan.
Now we are down to the one day plan. You might divide that up into Monday, Tuesday, etc. Whatever you think will work.
Review all this tomorrow and next week.
Change the plans if necessary.
Simplify if you can.
You are not perfect– just trying to get there. Keep working your system.
Welcome criticism. The Chinese symbol for crisis and opportunity are the same. Don’t be afraid to change the goals.
Close your eyes and visualize the long term results and the the daily activity of each.
Plan a reward (some special treat) for making a goal in a month or two months. Maybe something related to one of your goals. The carrot on the end of the stick.

Work. What's work?
ReplyDeleteFor most people when very young, play comes first. Then it changes and work comes before play. Later some of us find that play is all that comes. Hardly any work.
