Hi Javier,

Without tracking we will not be able to see our progress and make the adjustments when necessary. It is definitely a good habit to have.

Cheers,
Vincent

Hey Vincent,
After reading this post, it let me think back about our primary school days where our height and weight are being tracked that ensure that we know we are growing. Start to love the tracking progress as it makes me see a lot of stuff that I did not take note in the past.

Cheers
Javier

Hi Tess,

Thanks for dropping by. I have thought about creating a personal development course. I believe I will launch it sometimes next year.

Cheers,

Hi Jarrod,

Thanks for dropping by.

You make a great point here. Happiness and balance are also important. The numbers game can help improve results but obsession over it may result in unhappiness and lack of fulfillment instead.

Cheers,
Vincent

I heard about others using this method and it works for them. Why not try it? However, be sure to avoid the situation when you run out of pants.

Cheers,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for visiting the bold life. My hubs is an accountant and keeps me on my toes.
Have you ever thought of teaching this in an online course? Especially to young people? I think this is excellent;)

While I agree with the premise and agree that it improves performance results I would definately recommend it is balanced with a focus on happiness and the goal of the numbers goals.

If we take the view that all goals are to change how we feel then a number we should measure is how many times a day we feel that way. If we want to have a certain income to feel abundant we should track how often we feel abundant also.

In terms of fitness and losing weight, what if one uses their old pants size as motivation and a benchmark? The other day I was watching Dr. Phil and he said that it was okay to use your old pants as long as you throw out the ones that are now loose. Keeping the baggy pants will give you reason to slack off so therefore by throwing it out, you no longer have bigger size pants to rely on which will motivate you to continue to lose weight.
