Printable CEO Scoring

Jana recently asked an interesting question relating to my progress log system – specifically about my modified version of the Printable CEO:
“My question: do you use your modified PCEO just for work-related activities or also for non-work goals (i.e., the activites to ensure ‘balance’)?”
The short answer is “It’s mostly business”, and to be honest […]

30 Days of Positive Affirmations - Conclusion

So, my thirty day trial of affirmations is now over. How did things go?

New Year’s Resolutions

For me, New Year’s Eve is a time for reflection, as well as a time to look to the future. I don’t set New Year’s Resolutions in the “normal” sense, such as “Get Rich” or “Get in Shape”, because to me they’re not useful as goals. I do set large goals for the entire […]

But I can’t!

Lifehack.org has an interesting article entitled “But I can’t…”
How often each day do you tell yourself, or others, you can’t do something? Is it true? How do you know you can’t? What if you’re limiting yourself without knowing it? What if you’re lying to save face or avoid embarrassment?
This is one of things I […]

The 30 day, no risk trial
Back in April, Steve Pavlina wrote about the concept of testing changes in your life for 30 days.
A powerful personal growth tool is the 30-day trial. This is a concept I borrowed from the shareware industry, where you can download a trial version of a piece of software and […]

Progress Log Feedback

Evolution of the progress log
Stirred by a comment from David Seah, I thought it would be interesting to look over my progress log for the last few months, and see how it’s changed. It’s still a relatively new book, but there have already been some big modifications:

Keeping a progress log

I’ve been keeping a progress log since the end of August, and although it’s still far from perfect, it’s been a great help on my self improvement odyssey.
