Here’s how I got on last week with the projects mentioned in my previous post:
1) Writing the book, etc.
Not much progress on this, largely because I’ve wanted to get all my systems sorted out before I get properly down to work on it. Otherwise I would be constantly interrupted by routine things building up or going wrong. I think I’ve sorted these out enough now to start getting moving on this project this week.
2) Charity Walk, etc.
My attempts to get fit have been handicapped by my hurting my knee, so I’ve only been able to do a couple of fairly short walks (5-6 miles). However my knee seems to be getting better now so I hope to be able to get moving again properly over the next few days. I’ve continued to research, plan and gain support for the idea.
3) Fund raising
This is definitely going ahead now, and I was able to react quickly to developments last week.
4) Commitments to Organizations
I’ve kept these moving without any spectacular new developments or initiatives.
5) Brain Training
This is going really well, and the new system has kept me completely on top of the training.
6) Systems and Procedures
Some good progress here. Basically all my day-to-day procedures are working well, but there’s still plenty of longer term stuff to sort out. This is going to be a long-term project.
7) Keeping on Top of Routine Stuff
Email - clear
Phone - clear
Paper - clear
Household chores - clear
Summary
In summary the system is working extremely well. In those areas where there hasn’t been much progress this has not been the fault of the system - it’s been a case of a decision on my part or circumstances making it impossible. Basically everything I’ve decided to do I’ve either done or made significant progress on.
