Good Intentions- Day 2

Day 2 and I am back with another installment of Following Through with my Good Intentions. This is a mile stone for me. Actually reaching and completing a second day! Who of you wondered if I would be back, Huh?? I don't blame anyone who may have considered it.

Any way, the lastest from my readings of Steve Levinson & Peter Greider. “Following Through: A Revolutionary New Model for Finishing Whatever You Start. "

Today I was telling my boss about things I have learned so far. This confirmed my direction in having a blog here. Where there is support and a bit of anonymity. My boss is terrific, but has known me for 15+ years. So he has heard about my attempts to be a runner, a biker, a healthy eater and the list goes on. So for me to say "I'm going to complete something on that list" there is a bit of scepticism. Work wise he knows I aways complete my tasks well. So as he said, I'll be interested in the cliff notes.

This is a perfect example of Intelligence-Based Guidance System vs Primitive Guidance System. PGS is my ability to be a good employee. The Intelligence-Based Guidance System is all the other stuff.

Now I need the PGS side of me to kick in when I am having trouble with my Good Intentions.

More to come on day 3 how I am going to get there.

Les - They are for me. I think it may be I loose interest when there isn't that fast successful conclusion. So I need to learn how to keep with it for the duration I think. Thoughts?

I am a visual person. I have found putting a big check mark on the calendar for days that I work out very satisfying. Doesn't matter what kind of workout as long as I break a sweat. I've also noticed those check marks like to hang out together. More and more of them appeared once I got into the swing of things.

I love that you are doing this! I am a firm believer that life is all about the follow through - and it is something that I am terrible at! I wish you success in this process.

But, why don't you keep your commitments to yourself? Do you make them for you or someone else? Honest question..........I am sure lots of folks in the same boat!
