Hi, David:

First, Congratulations on the one-year anniversary:)  Hard to believe it's been that long.

Second, Congratulations on a valuable post and a dandy little list of Vital Actions:)

I have to admit that all of these can challenge me at times, but over the years, I would have to choose "Plan" as the one that is most problematic, especially when connected to getting that one important thing accomplished, as you have done above.

My problem is not that I do not plan, but that I overplan, by creating numerous lists with multiple entries.  I can happily lose an entire day, just planning on one front or another.

Shoot, maybe this is really about "Focus" or "Prioritizing" ... now you've got me analyzing the real problem:)

More seriously, I can plan all I want, but until I choose to make one something The Thing to Get Done Today, I will constantly be distracted by all the glittery things.

John
