The List

The time is ripe for me to zero in on a list of things to do and be disciplined enough to achieve them. And I am confident that I am starting with really low level things that will act like pillars upon which I build other things.
  • Clean up stuff and get a working GTG system up and running - do whatever it takes and buy whatever it needs. Just do it that's all - it's worth it. This is going to take some time.
    • Read GTG and take necessary actions.
  • Imbibe some timeless principles that works for success and keep practicing them.
    • As of now, shortlist from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.
    • Also Beyond positive thinking book.
  • Set some really long term goals that are convincing to me and make a solid plan to reach them.
    • Think about what you want to become. Begin with the end in mind.
  • Develop and master emotional competence.
    • Read and understand the Working With Emotional Intelligence book.
  • Set and develop some discipline.
    • Decide what to do about it.
  • Master time management.
    • Decide what to do about it.
  • Develop a dialog of positive thinking.
    • Read The Power of Positive Thinking book. Buy it. Atleast read the soft copy for a while and after you like it, buy it.
  • Develop a self-dialog to cut that.
    • Decide what to do about it.
  • Buy a good book on investments and economics and read them. This is very much necessary.
    • Research and buy good books.
  • Develop inclination towards some technical subjects in the field.
    • Decide what to do about it.
Because, ideas do not flow all at a time, I should be prepared to fill these things at a later time also.
