Eric is the best. I cannot speak more highly of a person. A "prince of a guy" as my father would say. I am impressed that you are studying a post graduate course online and would love to hear more about that later. Certainly breaking the top priority into more manageable parts is essential to getting it accomplished in a less stressful manner. Thanks again for visiting and I'm heading over to your blog now... By the way, you may enjoy this post: http://totallyuniquelife.com/could-you-use-a-life-coach/. I was fortunate to interview two life coaches who are truly wonderful women. Best, Bob Hi Ayo,

I stumbled on it from erics' 'motivate thyself' website. I loved the point on failure to break top priority into manageable parts.I feel it's important and quite rewarding because we are able to think properly, magae our time, handle the stress that comes along and most of all stay focused. I also believe it helps us deal with procrastination. To Digress a bit: I'm also studying a postgraduate course online and would let you have my thoughts on that later. You take care then!!! .-= ayo ´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/co/xSiu/~3/GhTnu2anNGI/" rel="nofollow">30 Reasons You Need Friends</a> =-. Hello Bob,

It sounds exactly like it is ! What then tends to happen is it leads to procrastination or distraction - just because we don't really know what the next step is ...

Sometimes it is hard to keep the direction of the meeting if other topics are brought up. I hope that you also took my poll. I also appreciate you citing my previous post in your current post.

What a great idea! I also love coffee. Thanks for contributing and I hope you voted in the poll! Best, Bob Hi Christine,

I am brilliant at writing lists of goals - my problem is in reviewing and keeping tabs on them. I've recently set up a system for myself to review big goals monthly and smaller goals weekly, and diarised my reviews as dates at a coffee shop with myself so I know they'll happen! It's early days on this, but it's going well as I love coffee and the whole thing feels like a fun thing to do. Hey, Bob

This is EXACTLY how I work the best. I have to feel I have accomplished something before I move onto the next project. I get a little antsy if I have 2 or 3 projects up in the air and they are in flux. I like the feeling of accomplishment when I do complete a project and then can move on. I hope you also took the poll. Thanks for stopping by! Best, Bob Henri,
