Today is the 50th day of this grand experiment in
systematic intentionality. To date it has really been a real success. I
have gotten past the typical hump of failure that most New Year’s
resolutions succumb to and I am seeing gradual positive
change in numerous parts of my life. It is encouraging.
When I first started it was exciting. There was a
good deal of low hanging fruit, I saw big changes. There was planning
and organization which I like a good deal. It was new. It was just
great. After a few weeks though it got a bit harder.
The low hanging fruit was all but picked. The planning was done, and
the novelty was pretty much tapped out. However, I had the daily shot of
win from knowing I was still on plan.
Now, seven weeks into it it is getting easier
again. Many of the systems I put into place have become habits and they
happen with minimal thought or effort. I still have things I want to
add, progress I want to make, but I am building confidence
in the fact that I have been doing this for 50 days and it is genuinely
working. I feel like I am getting a better handle on life. That I am
directing it instead of it directing me.
