Reflecting on my Goals 6

I watched as the sporadic rhythm of raindrop beats against the window. It looked dreary outside; I needed no one to tell me that autumn was just around the corner. The sunshine of the summertime was gradually being replaced by the grey sky of the autumn period.

I reflected for a while about another year coming to an end and the ushering of a new one. The year coming to an end somehow had me engulfed with dread for a few minutes because time really flies. I remembered as the year was coming to an end, I was reviewing my goals and coming up with a new action plan for my dreams. I could not believe that it has been almost twelve months since I was redefining my goals and coming up with better action plans for the present year.

My Goals and Action Plans were:

• Daily Bible Study
• Read between Forty to Fifty-five books in twelve months
• Fifty push ups in a day?
• Continuous research for song writing
• Complete song writing course
• Start my Personal Blog
• Advance Keyboard Training
• Drink 1 litre of water in a day
• Cycling
• Walking

A reliable source said that scientist claimed the earth had slowed down in its rotation axis. Twenty-four hours no longer make a day, but twenty-five, an extra hour a day. Despite this extra hour I still complain daily of not having enough time. I began to wonder if I have put this extra one hour a day to good use.

I did a recap of my Goals and action plans:

• I need to spend more time on Bible studies
• I was currently reading Book Number Forty-Three; my target was to read between forty-five to fifty books in a year.
• My push ups in a day are between twenty and thirty-five.
• I was on Module two with my song Writing Course.
• I was behind in the advanced keyboard training.
• I cycle regularly, which has helped to save money on public transport and keep fit.
• I walk a lot.

I agree with Steve Covey the author of seven habits of highly effective people who said that time management does not exist but self-management. As stated earlier, I now get an extra one hour every day. Self-management is now helping to put this extra one hour to good use.
