Creating Time: freeing blocks of time for your goal work.

"Analyze the way you spend your time now- and then pinpoint those time-filling, time-killing activities where fear and pain are hiding. I call them avoidance patterns, and its from them that most of your new time will come.

step1: Record present patterns of spending time

step2: Record what you do with your time

If you find out that a lot of your time is going down the drain due to avoidance patterns, don't be too hard on yourself for it. Above all, don't make any drastic resolutions to reform.

Pick one of those time periods and mark it off as time that belongs to you. Try to define its borders. Divide the period in half. One half for playtime and goofing off, the other half to work on your goal.

Draw up a list of all the things you think you have to do. Cross out everything you would cross out if you were going to die in six months. And then stop doing them.

Your house may not run right.Your lifestyle may go through some interesting mutations. But no one is going to die, no one will get scurvy. No one's teeth will fall out- and no one is going to throw you out on the street for not being a good woman or a good provider. Of course you can take care of other people but you have no right to give it all away."

Creating the flowchart
What you have to work with:

A planning wall.You'll need a wall to devote to your goal

A planning wall begins with:

your flow chart

Left hand side should say tomorrow. Now pick a target date and write it under your goal, over on the far right. Of course your target date can only be a target estimate. Even without major surprises, you'll almost certainly have to adjust your target date simply because you can't know in advance how long things are going to take. You can and possibly will have to change this date. But set it anyway you can do a thousand things between now and then. If you get on with it. And a deadline will make you do that.

Only 2 words of caution about setting your target date. don't set it so close that it's totally impossible. You are not as machine.But don't set it too far either.
If you give yourself three years to write a book, you'll never know what you could have done in one.

Put the following on your planning wall:
- 1 your personal saint (peson you admire who gives you the courage to continue)
- 2 flow chart
- goal calendar(calendar to indicate what you need to to to attiain your goal on what day, month,etc.)
- first footsteps
- weekly calendar(what you want to get done this week)
- the next few years (what you want to get done in the next few years)
- the next step (what you to get done tonight and tommorow)

Stuff to carry arround with you:
- Pocket calendar
- Actions and feelings journal
- Hard times note book



But then they'll say:" You're selfish!"

"Selfish people love with good hearts. They may not take care of their loved ones from cradle to grave, but they do something better: they give them the gift of self respect, strength and freedom. Self-sacrificers create bonds of guilt. If your children look into your eyes and see delight, they've got a good world. If you're so tired and angry you can't enjoy them, what they're going to feel, is "I don't care about Christmas presents or my lunch. Why don't you ever smile?"

How did you feel about your own parents?
Did you ever feel guilty about either of your parents?
How do you think you would have felt if your mother or father had done a Little less for you and a lot more for her/himself?

How would you like to have had no guilt about your mother or father?
How would you like your kids to have no guilt about you?"
