I did quite a lot of driving in the first half of January, and that enabled me to catch up on some of the podcast backlog.
One of those podcasts was Joanna Penn’s interview with Dan Padavona.
Over the years I’ve read a lot of books about attaining your goals – from Napoleon Hill through Catherine Ponder and Brian Tracy. I won’t go into the details, but they all talk about visualizing your goals as a beginning action each day.
Easy to state. Not so easy in practice.
I don’t have children in the house any more, but I do have a cat and two dogs and the moment you’re awake and up, they expect your complete focus and attention, for breakfast if nothing else. Maybe I;m too literal, but that apparent conflict has always bothered me.
Now, back to the podcast, where Dan Padavona makes the comment about sitting down to review and visualize his goals before starting to write each day. Not necessarily first thing in the morning.
Well duh!
And there was my answer.
