2 Weeks, MOFO!

 

BOOM!

 

Just like that, my second week of TOOLS is a thing of the past.  This was a rough week for me personally, in the middle of a move and all, but getting into a new house and pulling off a big contracted photography job are two moves in the right direction.

 

I noticed a lot of good progress over the last week, but I have also noticed some of my old, bad habits coming through in times of stress.  I have to trust in the process though, and realize that I am not going to change completely in 14 days.  It is very encouraging to see the progress, though.

 

I absolutely LOVE the shopping day tool for the 14th day. I am a music junkie and my wife even makes fun of me because I seem to have a soundtrack to my life.  I love to use my Pandora app for my Blackberry and listen to it on the computer too.  Instead of buying music now, I try to refine my stations on Pandora so that it is exactly to my liking.  I used to DJ both for Radio and parties, so I love being able to create my own type of stations.  I have many different kinds, but my favorite, which reminds me of being young, is my hip-hop station, "Playalistic Radio."  You can listen to it too at

I need to focus on doing the checklist daily and writing down my excuses and complaints.  Other than that, I have been doing pretty well.  Days have been busy and I haven't taken as much time as I should to check in with myself or drink as much water as I should or brush my teeth as much as I would like to, but I will get back to it.  The organizing thing is a tricky one when I am trying to organize my whole house, including stuff that has been in storage for over a year, but I get the concept and will work on it as much as possible after I am finished spending my whole days getting organized! Ugh...
