"In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it."

quote by Robert Heinlein, American Novelist

I believe that it is vitally important that we should develop the habit of writing out our goals daily and reviewing them as often as possible. At the very least twice a day: first thing in the morning and right before bed. This will direct our mind towards the things that we want to accomplish. I'm a big fan of the 3x5 note cards. I write down quotes, affirmations, and goals on these cards and I read them as often as I can. Repetition deepens the impression.

Without doing this, as the quote says we will get sidetracked. The "daily trivia" could be lots of things, but I think if we know in our heart that we are wasting time, then I believe that we should make efforts the correct our behavior and spend more time on our goals. One of my fundamental beliefs is we should read and study as much as possible in the areas that we want to excel in. This is a good place to start.

If we are going to live this life, why not life to the fullest? Why not strive to become better everyday in all of our affairs? Let's strive today to get as much out of our time here on earth as possible.
