Naming a Goal, Accomplishing a Task Every Day

I got about 5 to 6 tasks to be accomplished simultaneously whether short or long term regarding kettlebells. Name a few right now, weekly kettlebell class/a kettlebell workshop/getting some kettlebells/magazine coverage on David Whitley/getting a kettlebell manual organized/having my friend cover some ideas for my future kettlebell plan.

Kettlebell training is a daily issue whether it is hard, a variety (very rare) or recovery routine.

Former Navy SEAL Commander and ST-6 founder Richard Marcinko has written the "Rogue Warrior" series and one of his books mentions about "setting a goal every day". Name your goal in three seconds and if it doesn't come up you're no good.

A daily training goal is very precise, easy to state, may be difficult to committ however you can name it quick. A goal in my mind;
1) Should build body composition or mind set. Nothing should fall back wards.
2) Goals and tasks must relate to or lead to future cash flow.
3) Tasks that fix or improve my daily habits (especially bad ones).
4) Tasks and goals can be small or little as long as they have the above aspects.
5) Has to be set every day.

Very good! Love goal and task setting information. Without solid goals and a structured plan to achieve them, rarely ever happens.

Glad to see you have many GREAT goals Taikei!!!

Fawn, Rogue Warrior's very manly. Entire book which is in length 30 years of this Navy officer's life, I detected two women and none were romantic. Real life story.

Franz, because of these goals I set up, I tend to reject party invitations and had turned off my home TV (disconnected from antenna) for 3 years. Life of a Zen monk.

A monk, indeed.

Marcinko said in one of his "success" books that office workers should return home every day with an exhausted mind.

I disagree. An exhausted mind leads to expensive mistakes. Productivity is important, but my office is not a battlefield.
