The 30 Day Trial

March of last year was definitely one of the most productive months of my life. Why? Well I spent February doing Tony Robbins' 30-day Personal Power program. He's a motivational speaker and so I got into a great rhythm, getting so much stuff done. At the beginning of March 2007, I set goals for that whole month. I broke them down into weekly and daily goals. Then I kept track of what I accomplished everyday. I even wrote down what time I ended going to bed each day. Sounds crazy? Well the results were spectacular.

I'm setting out to do the same thing this March. Tomorrow I will write my goals down for the months, weeks and days that follow. Then I will track them diligently. One of my common mistakes when I set goals is that I set them too high. So even if I get a lot done, I am disappointed that I didn't accomplish my goals. I will make them more attainable this time around. That is not easy for me, but I'll do my best.

I encourage you guys to try it out. Do it for one month and see what kind of results you come up with. You will be amazed! High achievers and ultra successful people do this kind of thing over years. I'm just saying I will do it to this intensity for one month. That means that every minute will count. So when I am relaxing, it's because I planned it that way, not because I don't feel like working. If this sounds like it would take spontaneity out of my life, well I suppose it does to a certain extent. But I am so much happier when I play the game of life at a greater level and intensity. There are trade-offs. I am out to get the max out of this limited time I have and this is the best way I know how for them moment.

Steve Pavlina is a big inspiration for me. I thought of doing this after reading his article: 30 Days To Success. Trying out something for 30 days is the perfect way to either make it into a solid habit or find out if it's not the best thing for you. If you take this on, let me know how it goes.
