Day 8: What's the Plan, Stan?

Writing out an action plan for my Christmas projects inspired me to make some kind of a plan for the rest of my Quantum Leap Frog activities.  I mean, I'm a week into this thing with only 15 more to go and quite frankly, not a lot has changed.  From what I have read about making any kind of Leap it takes a long, sustained push to break through the barrier and then after that, BAM, you Leap, like the space shuttle leaving Earth.  So...I need to create a push and sustain it until something gives, right? 

(BTW, my 11 yr old son just watched me correct a fragmented sentence and exclaimed, "You little fragmetizer!"  All my home school and cyber school friends will appreciate not only the significance in him recognizing what I wrote and corrected but also the humor in that!) 

Once upon a time my previous boss gave me a packet on goal setting that broke the process down by 3s.  Dang it if I can find it now.  3 is a great number.  The Holy Trinity, 3 Stooges, 3 Wise Men, Triple Berry Smoothies...ah yes, good things come in 3.  I have 3 areas I want to improve.  It only makes sense that I make a list of 3 actions to perform on all 3 areas each day.  They need to be 3 things that I think are vital to my success.  So here we are, the breakdown:

Health
1.  Hydration-Drink no less than 1 gallon of water a day.
2.  Movement-Pilates 3X a week, Walking outside 3X a week
3.  Centering-Meditation 30 min a day,

Wealth
1.  Income-Look for new forms of income, both passive and active, for immediate use
2.  Opportunity-Work on my business plan, research potential venues, research funding possibilities
3.  Savings-Set aside 10% of income for savings, 10% for charity and save $$ by making gifts.

Education
1.  Read-Read at least 3 chapters a day of books on my 3 areas of interest
2.  Write-Write at least 3 pages about what I learned from each book each day
3.  Share-Share what I learn and think and feel, my progress and failures, each day with you on my blog.

I want to write this all out in more detail in some kind of journal or chart where I can check off each area each day.  Then I can easily see what I did, what is working for me, what needs dropped or added.  It's a lot to do in a week let alone to fit all this in on top of cyber schooling and general life-ish stuff.  But I'm juiced up and I'm ready.  I want something to happen already!  I have evidence that intentionally focusing my thoughts and feelings is working for the best.  If nothing else I am not feeling as depressed or stressed out.  It's interesting and encouraging.  I look forward to seeing what it is that I am capable of!
