Goals & Consistency

Those goals we have in mind for 2024. How do make them happen? Make them STICK?

Consistency is all powerful. The magic word is everyday.

If you want to get fitter: every day.

If you wish to produce your novel: every day.

Your start-up? Plan and research every day.

But, but, but! Don’t we need a day off? Surely we deserve a day off? I mean I can’t exercise every day? That would be harmful surely? If I write every day, I’ll get writer’s block.

Try it. Notice the power of consistency. Sure, if you were doing press-ups every day that might be problematic. But you won’t. You’ll do press-ups some days and just a long walk another day. The key is every day you think and act fit. Some days are big edit days on your novel. The key is to become a writer.

Anyhow, you get the point. Every day will make any goal happen. That’s every day. No excuses. 

Goals

As we reflect on our goals-as is often our want this time of year-it’s useful to consider that if we ADD something we might need to TAKE something away. Our daily timetable is finite and to stretch it too far invites disappointment. 

What do You Wish to Read?

You’d prefer it in easy chunks? Maybe 45 minutes? Varied? Time travel? A whodunnit? A historical adventure?

You’re in luck. You need Love, Life & Legacy, a collection of three short stories.

Ahhhh…you seek something darker? A different time? Conspiracy? A hero set to save the world? The origins of Covid-19. That’ll be Bram, A Spy Story.

Actually you’d prefer the full saga, the hero’s quest! Three arching novels which take you from the south of the UK to a magical Scottish island and then to Europe.  A tale of love, self-realisation and destiny. The Molly Trilogy which starts here. 

All available via kindle, machine or app. Happy reading in 2024. De-stress, expand the mind and scroll differently.

Goals

do work. But you need room for them in your life.

Before you launch on 01 01 2024, create the space and time in your life for the big new plan.
