I have set a very high set of goals this year. I want to focus on me this year. I know I know that selfish however if you hear me out you will understand that everyone wins. My goals this year are three-fold become super-fit, have a focused mind, and to enhance my wealth. Well that is a tall order. However that being said there are few things I happen to know:
- Balance is the key to success
- Long-term self discipline only works with rewards
- Only well planed strategy will work
So that means for my success I need to focus on balancing my life to accomplish these things. I need routine with rewards and breaks. I cannot run faster than I have strength. So here are a few things that I have thought to conquer in the future:
Super-fit:
- Exercise
- Diet
- Sleep
- Relaxation
Focused-mind:
- Be healthy (see previous goals)
- Read
- Learn
- Focus
Enhance my wealth(this doesnt not necessarily mean money):
- Work daily
- Balance Play/Work
- Increase my efficiency
- Learn
- Contribute to society
So now lets convert these meta goals now that they are defined into tangible goals with tangible rewards:
Super-fit:
- Sleep 8 hours a night-reward buy a new mattress
- Eat according to the food pyramid daily with no more than 1500 calories a day–reward once every month get a binge day
- Exercise daily–
- Run 3 times a week
- Workout 3 times a week
- Play one sport
- Go for a walk at least 1/2 hour daily
Focused-mind:
- Read for half an hour daily
- Find a new hobby ( balance)
- Take a course
- Learn a new skill
- Go out of your comfort zone daily
- Journal(blog) daily
Enhance my wealth:
- Participate in a philanthropy project
- Work an additional 1 hour a day on a personal project ( balance)
- Balance my budgets weekly
- Work on a new project
Now that I have some concreate goals to work I do two things once a week:
- Select two goals from each category
- Plan my week around those goals
- Select an productive reward for each goal
Now I just need to do. 
I will let you know how it goes.
