The Doing Project: Day 5

Share Wow, it’s Saturday! For some people, this will be reason enough to stop what they started five days ago (this project). Don’t be one of them. If you’re serious about changing your thinking, habits, behaviours, outcomes and life, then keep doing what success demands. Finish what you started. In case you’ve forgotten, success is [...]

The Doing Project: Day 4

Share Wowzer! Well, you Guys are amazing. I’m loving the conversations, the advice and the encouragement that’s constantly streaming through via the comments. So interesting, entertaining and funny! How much easier is it to do stuff with friends? As I’ve said many times, hang out with people who will drag you up, not down. I’m [...]

The Doing Project: Day 3

Share Over-Thinkers.Com! Well, it appears that yesterday’s task was something of a challenge for the over-thinkers in the group. The ants-in-pants brigade. That’s the beauty of this seven-day project; one person’s easy is another person’s hard. And the next day, the tables are turned. For those of you who have completed both days, well done. [...]

The Doing Project: Day 2

Share Hi Everyone. So, we’re out of the starting blocks and day one of the Doing Project is in the bank. Great stair walking, jogging, running (crawling) by all of you who stepped up to the plate. Er, step. Well done. I’m suspecting there may be a few sore muscles about the place. I can [...]

The Doing Project: Day 1

Share Holy Crap Batman, What Have I Started? Okay, so clearly nobody is interested in my dorky little Doing Project. Well, maybe just four or five (hundred) of you. Good for you, Grasshoppers. Gotta say, I am impressed with the response. I’m not really sure if (1) I had a good idea (2) you’re all [...]

The Doing Project

Share The Change Train Hi Everyone. As I mentioned in my first post back for the year, in 2012 I’m committed to making me-dot-com a much more practical (as opposed to purely theoretical) and interactive place to hang out. Of course, I can’t do that by myself. If change lives in the doing, then let’s [...]

The Instant Gratification Mindset

Share The Impatient Generation Have you noticed how impatient people are these days? Or how impractical and unrealistic they are when it comes to the issue of doing what’s required to create lasting positive change? Like the guy who spent thirty years destroying his body with alcohol, excessive food, drugs and a sedentary lifestyle. He [...]

From Over-Thinker to Doer

Share And a big hello to my over-thinking friends. You know who you are. As I’ve said many times before… Thinking: good. Over-thinking: bad. The Almost Brigade Many of us have been almost doing things for years. Almost changing habits. Almost getting in shape. Almost facing our fears. We boldly stand at the precipice of [...]

Why Motivation is Like a Fart

Share Was That You or the Dog? Motivation is kind of like flatulence. It comes and goes. Some of us have it often. Some of us don’t. Some of us do but pretend we don’t. And some of us blame the dog. For the flatulence, that is. But I digress. As is my way. So, [...]

Being Busy Vs. Being Productive

Share Wheel Spinning Do you ever feel like you’re busily achieving not much at all? Like your results are not really a reflection of your effort? Like there’s some kind of imbalance? Like your wheels are spinning but you’re getting no traction? Do you often feel frustrated, overwhelmed or exhausted? Maybe all three? Welcome to the [...]
