Welcome new friends and old friends! The greatest strength of this group (for me, anyway) is that I know I am not alone--people are watching me, cheering for me, caring for me and expecting the best of me! Woo hoo for accountability!
It is my firm belief that if you (or I) really want to change, we have to be transparent and honest with others about (1) our struggles, and (2) our need for help. So please, make this blogspot a place to share your struggles and your successes.
As promoted, during this quarter's series, we will incorporate three "management" principles (over each of our three months together) into our hourly, daily, and weekly schedules in order to achieve our shared goals of "saving money, calories and time in 2009."
In April, we're going to start with the most basic principle of focusing on our MIN--Most Important Now. My hope is that those of us who are...
*master procrastinators will learn a new habit--and find joy in doing something RIGHT NOW, rather than later.
*poor time managers will become better at being on time--and make others happy that we were considerate.
*unprepared because we didn't plan ahead will discover simple tricks for organizing every area of our lives.
In May, we will focus on how to save more, burn more, and spend more wisely by incorporating "Day-in-Advance" planning into our lives 365 days a year! And June is the month we will put it all together by planning our lives one "Week-at-a-Glance."
I look forward to speaking with you at noon PST on Wednesday, April 1st--BUT PLEASE NOTE: next week, I'll be on an airplane on Wednesday, so our call and blogspot posting will be on Thursday, April 9 at noon PST. Please, please make a note of this change on your schedule. (The "upside" is that you have one more day to master the MIN!)
Be encouraged,
Becky
