9. Organize Your Thinking Course
Posted by Tom Cassidy
Duration: 19 lectures and 1.5 hours of video.
What will you learn (words of the author):
Have you ever wondered, “I KNOW that I can do more in my life, but HOW?”
Let's stop here. You have a very eventful life and there are a lot of things in it that distract you ... and this can lead to a loss of focus (landmark), and because of this you will not get everything you want from life. You start going to the gym in January, but by the end of February ... The
guitar you bought is in the guest room and covered with dust ...
You have a copy of 7 Successful People Habits on a bookshelf, you know that is great a book, but you haven’t opened it since 1995 ...
you decided to learn French, and after 3 weeks you think Spanish might be better, but 3 years later you still speak plain English when you go abroad ...
Sounds familiar? You are not alone in this. Most of the population is in the same boat with you. This is pretty typical. Only a small percentage of people on the planet have self-discipline worthy of an Olympic athlete.
And for example, I also do not belong to this group. I have no iron will. I don’t even have a pewter will. Probably more likely even cardboard, to be honest. Therefore, we will study with you a system to achieve goals that does not require excess willpower, but only requires its observance ...
