#note/idea #on/annualreview *Embrace* - #### Why? *When I embrace the reality, instead of wishing it were different, I can see the advantage in situations instead of blaming. I haven't lost till I've blamed.* #### What are my priority outcomes? (should be things I actually control such as processes and behaviors) - Wellness = balance: - Process: only say yes to things that I would do this week if offered because they are so interesting, valuable, or offer such a great opportunity for growth. If I don't have time this week I won't have time in 3, 6, or 9 months. - Process: Schedule my fitness and community. When I block time for fitness and community they happen. Schedule my values don't value my schedule. - Temperance = frugality - I already have everything I need. What is this next thing replacing? How much of my life do I have to give up to have it? - Never buy without putting it into my inbox first. Repair what I have. - Family = community: Lyle, Ellye, Justine and Ethan, Mom and Dad, and all the Kings where they are at, community is family - Process: see family every month #### What will be acceptable evidence? - Inbox is where offers, plans, and purchasing ideas go. They can hang out there and decide if they really need to be a part of my life. #### What will get in my way? - Interfacing with the internet, consuming > creating. - Interfacing with low-value content with ads, takes my attention, energy, and puts me in consumer mode (information or goods) #### How will I reduce those obstacles? - Use technology for creation not consumption to avoid these urges. Use RSS reader to interface with the news. Use email sparingly, send offers to junk. - Reduce Podcasts to minimum - Embrace the role they play in helping me grow
