When I take a " dump " , I think about the " dump " and NOT about anything else. Many people think about what they need to do next, so they sit there 20 minutes or so, totally constipated. When I read/study a book, I read/study that book. I don't think about going fishing. Some people watch a movie when they study. Then they go in for the exam and all they can remember is the movie plot. When I teach George, I don't think about training Sam. Many school teachers think about Friday on Monday, so all their students get lousy skills during that time from a non-focused nin- com-poop. When I'm eating I think about the food, and NOT about the seminar I'll be giving in June. Some really ignorant people think about all their worries at the dinner table, because that's their conversation time. WOW! How many poisons are those conversations manufacturing? When I'm fishing I'm looking for fish. Pretty simple. Okay. Now, how do goals and future pacing and daily planning fit into the above descriptions?

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Goals are a way of making my intention concrete. They break it down into manageable chunks. They are the " how " . Future pacing enables me to see myself having achieved my goals. Daily planning is how I set about achieving my goals on a daily basis. It is the step by step process which i obtain by future pacing and looking back to see what i need to do to get to where I deserve and want to be.

LOL!!!! Seems simple.....butt.... what about more complicated tasks? Say, getting together and executing a business plan of action. There are many many things to think about and do, how do you keep your intention clear? And you still want to keep thinking of creative ideas to augment your plan. My guess is to keep a clear end goal and take the steps to get there adjusting your path along he way to include the new reasources and information you aquire.
