I am already feeling productive. Part of what added to my productivity this morning was planning ahead (said redundantly for emphasis). For me, purpose comes before goals. There is a good chapter on low productivity and what to do about it (perhaps a trick like planning ahead might work). Today will be a great day.

Good time to rethink goals. I know I am more likely to be productive and use my time well if I am "reporting" on life. When I spend time on goals, I take time to think of purpose. Purpose precedes goals. The goal can sometimes be internal - like Nike - Just Do It. I love New Years. Set new one. They have purpose.

Empower your company with concrete measurable goals and milestones with scheduled deadlines so campaigns are given time to work and be evaluated before they are abandoned. Make calculated change with a level head.

As Aristotle said - "we are the product of what we repeatedly do". My goal today is to have you doing one success habit a year from now that you do not do today. To achieve financial goals, the most important thing to do is spend less than you make. Most of my tactics revolve around habits - I call them success habits.
