As I approach my 52^nd birthday, I am finding myself once again looking back to how things have been and what I would like to become.

With this reflection comes some harsh realities and redefining my current goals.

• Health
• Wealth
• Relationship
• Personal Peace

These are at the top of my list, as I am sure they are for many people.

I don’t have a magic success list or some long winded inspirational writing for anyone, much less myself, but accept it is a journey and course corrections will need to be made.

I have spent many years reading about how to achieve goals, how to prioritize, how to organize, and such.  All the information is fantastic, but hard for me to implement.  I can come up with reasonings, excuses, justifications; but in the end, I just need to buckle down, choose one and try it. 

During my life’s journey, I have come to accept that I am probably ADHD to some degree.  Though never medically / officially diagnosed, that ‘tell-tale’ signs given by various sources are prevalent with me.

I have come to accept this.  I am not fighting it.  I won’t deny it.  I won’t get medicated for it.  The implication intrigues me from the standpoint that if I understand it and work with tools and techniques provided from many sources, I can potentially use it as a superpower.  But I won’t let it define who I am or have it become my personality or excuse.

Why do I bring it up at all then?  Well, it brings me to the first ‘major step’ and ‘implementation’ for my 52nd year around the sun.

Non-negotiable Tasks each day.

What?

I often get sidetracked, lazy, or push off large and small tasks that should get done (dishes, fold clothes, etc.)

So now each day, I am coming up with three (3) non-negotiable tasks (some big, some super simple) that I will (MUST) get done that day before I go to bed.  Sounds simple to say, harder to do, really hard to make routine. 

But I have faith I can do it, I just must keep myself accountable.

Carry on and go forth!
