Final 2011 Action Plan

For me, the object to creating a successful new years action plan is to make sure that you don't have too many, that they are all kind of related and that they all speak to a theme.

The final item that is on my list is to step out on faith and increase my giving to my local church this year.

It looks like my theme for this year is to increase my self discipline. Being more deliberate about the way I live my life....

This should be a GOOD year!

Third 2011 Action Plan

I have noticed in 2010 that when I actually take the time to plan out what I eat and shop at the beginning of the week my diet is cleaner and healthier.

When I don't plan, I end up trying to make decisions when I'm hungry and all I really want at that time is to satisfy my hunger. I usually eat more than I intended and less healthier as well.

I have got to do better in 2011 and build a better habit.

Second 2011 Action Plan

Time management... that's the second item that I have to gain control over in the new year...

In the post divorce world, I have allowed my time to become fluid. Since I didn't have to worry about getting the kids up for school, cooking dinner, being at activities for the boys and making sure that they were in bed on time I had a TON of free time on my hand.

I can't say that I used the free time very well.

I need to start scheduling my day... not in an overly rigid way.

To me, this ties in with self discipline...

I'm not sure how I'm going to manage this yet... but I have the next few weeks to work on it!

First 2011 resolut... I mean action plan...

I don't really make new years resolutions... I make actionable plans that I have really been good at following up on through the year.

2011 is no different.

So, my first 2011 action plan is to increase my self discipline.

I cut myself way too many breaks. I take things to near completion... I have lost this spirit of excellence that I once had.

I... have got to change that...

I have got to get back to the point where I once again strive and struggle to be the best... at the top... and not content to be at the upper middle of the pack.

So... my first goal... that I start on today... is... increase my self discipline.
