Sometimes it all becomes a big blur. But when I do get specific with the goal(s),I'm pretty good at the carry-through...I do trip up at times on step 4, the "continue" while life gets in the way and have to "re-focus"...and I think I kind of drop out the "evaluate" and "adjust" steps and just go back to "plan" and "start".

I'm great at dreaming up ideas and getting them started, but usually at this point I can get distracted or discouraged and not finish what I was doing. Completion is key - if you never finish anything, you can't evaluate what you did that was right or wrong (besides getting distracted and stopping). You can't build up any leverage by having multiple assets working for you and building on those that provide the maximum benefit (for you and your readers) for the least amount of effort on your part. Maybe change the first "continue" to complete or consistency - that's where I fall down and I'm sure many others do too.Mike I.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04910603000931136048noreply@blogger.com
