Self-flaggellation is a personal challenge I face all the time too, and it definitely doesn't help productivity or self-image in my instance.

While it's not always EASY to do, having a sort of rest period is a nice and effective way to clean up our day when it hasn't gone the way we've wanted.

It is easy to get down on ourselves when things aren't going well. That is not very productive though. If you want to stay motivated and hard work, you need to also manage your own motivation level. Keep yourself optimistic and happy and it becomes much easier to get work done. Another great post Vincent. It is easy to get down on ourselves when things aren’t going well.

I think we have to take things less seriously, often times I keep looping a question, "Is this really important? I dunno. Am I forgetting something? I dunno." This can drive you nuts and push you to uncertainty and confusion. Yesterday I completed a 100+ goals list, got a lot o goals on there including one to be a very wealthy man in ten years or less(has a specific number to) and everything I want to do like learn to surf and go for a vacation in Fiji... The problem for me, is that I'd change goals and tweak things constantly, which was in a way a mistake, because it can drive you insane. I seriously don't want to touch my goals list for another 3-6 months. There are two good questions to ask yourself when setting a goal: 1. Is this what I really want and will it allow me balance for my other goals? 2. Am I expecting life to be perfect by these goals? My answers were Yes and the second one was NO. And once I set up all the plans and daily disciplines I asked "Now! If I followed this plan and continued after these goals, would my life be in dire need of anything?" My answer being no. And from there I just started taking baby steps. You need to think big but start small, so belief builds. I know how hard it can be when you don't go to sleep feeling like you completed something. We all hate leaving things hanging. But I think the key is setting lower(but slightly out of our comfort zone) goals that will slowly help you to grow instead of setting a massive goal that has an unrealistic time limit(and we wonder why we didn't achieve it). Don't set goals like I'm going from $1500/mo to 10 MIllion in a year, unless you know something everyone else doesn't. The more goals you hit, the more of a winner you feel like and the larger your capacity becomes. Cheers, Clinton Hi Vinc,

The agenda keeps me on task and on certain days I have more time and on other days I have less time so whichever task I am unable to complete, I transfer to the next day that way I'm not totally throwing the task out the window but I'm simply saving it for another day when I have more time and that for sure makes me feel better.

Learning to forgive myself is one of the skill that I need to master in order to get more out of life. I got to take note of that. :) Cheers, Vincent Hey Diggy,

There is always room for improvement, that is why being a perfectionist is like abusing ourselves. Cheers, Vincent Hey walter,

I know about this, I have done it, and still do it pretty harshly sometimes when I do something stupid that I know I should not do. Learning to forgive yourself is one of the harder things to do. Don't be too hard on yourself, just try harder to achieve your goals next time :) Have a great week! Diggy Hey Vincent!
