I’ll whip up a spreadsheet to track sales and prices and whatnot. That might be fun.

I double love DO IT NOW! I too am a procrastinator, and if I only adapt that one thing it will make my life so much better. Thanks Paul.

You need a re-boot sentence that allows you to reset the goals as needed, and to re-start the goal-oriented working as many times as you need.

FWIW

A few years ago, my wife and I made our resolution as simple as possible, something we could could recite to ourselves and to each other and to our daughters like a mantra. Some back story:

In 1991-1992, I worked as an employee at a Radio Shack store near my house. It was an okay gig, the manager was okay, and I made some friends. Out district manager was Ernie Harman. Back in those days, Tandy Corp would communicate to stores via mass fax. A missive would come in from home office, and as sure as the sun rises in the east, 20 seconds later we’d get a duplicate fax from Ernie, with his hand-written addendum at the bottom end:

DO IT NOW – EH

We laughed about it a lot at the time, but in 2012, we thought, “Hey, what a great resolution for a couple of folks who seem to have a problem with procrastination.” We adopted it, and have been getting more done in the same amount of time for 2 years now.

So since 1-1-13, our resolution has been DO IT NOW – EH. Not glamorous, but a lot of the SMARTER aspects are built-in, plus it has the ability to be used in a vast range of applications.

Happy New Year, Rob.
