Quarterly Planning

I wrote about The Common Denominator of Success and I agreed with Mr. Gray that the key to success can be boiled down to two things:  A burning desire (purpose) and good habits. 

If you put me on a Waterboard and aske me what is the most important habit to form, I would divulge the secret:  Set aside fifteen minutes every day for reflection and planning.  Hobbs calls it "Solitude for Planning."  It should be so obvious, yet hardly anyone does it. 

The psychologists tell us that our brains focus on the goal that we give it.  (Psycho-Cybernetics, Maltz)

The Time Management folks tell us to write down three things we want to accomplish the next day before we go to bed at night.  (Andrew Carnegie, I think)

Maltz also teaches us that it takes twenty-one (21) days to form a habit.  This one will change your life.
