Step 5 – Commit to Your Journey

I heard a wise man say once “This information I’m giving you today is priceless.  But if you do nothing with it, it is worthless.”  Just as I believe that this Road Trip process is priceless.  So if you haven’t done each step… nothing will change for you.  You’ll keep doing the same things expecting different results.  That, my friends, is the definition of insanity.  I am living proof that this will literally change your life when you Commit to Your Journey!

10 years ago, someone interviewing me asked how I managed my schedule.  My exact words were “I fly by the seat of my pants.” Needless to say, they hired me on the spot!  THAT was the answer they were looking for!  It certainly was the truth but I’ve learned SO much more since then.  When it comes to achieving something, flying by the seat of your pants will NOT get you there.

I’ve learned to calendar everything because I got tired of always flying around and never really landing anything…  It has helped me prioritize my schedule so I don’t let the urgent things take over the important things. Here’s how you do it…

Sample Time Block - use this as a guide for organizing your week around your priorities.

Blank Time Block - here’s a blank one you can use yourself!

We all have the same amount of time… it’s how you use that will have the greatest impact on your life.

A major part of successful living is the ability to put first things first.  Indeed, the reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.
