Today I wrote 2149 words in my book. This is the most I’ve written in a single day since I started.
There was no mystery to it. I created the space to write, both in my schedule and in my mind, and I wrote. I also had support in the form of an Integrity Day (thanks, [...]

Day 90 (2008-09-28): Completion & Celebration
Posted in 100 Days of Peaceful Productivity, Peace, productivity, tagged 100 Days of Peace, celebration, completion, goals, life, Peace, peaceful productivity, productivity, writing on September 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In the past few days I completed two big goals:
1. Chapter 2 in my book
2. A song I wrote and recorded for my girlfriend
I devoted lots of time and energy to each, and it’s important for me to acknowledge my follow-through. So to celebrate, I’m requesting some virtual cheering (via comments or emails, your preference).

Day 87 (2008-09-25): More than I think

Last night I went to a yoga class, my first yoga class in many, many months. I’d forgotten how wonderful it feels to move my body and use all of its muscles. And I’d forgotten how magical it feels to be in a space with other people who radiate such positive and healthy vibes.
I also [...]
Day 84 (2008-09-22): Where I choose to focus my energy

It’s been 6 days since I last posted an entry on this blog — the longest time I haven’t posted since I began my first 100 Days almost 300 days ago. I find it a practice in itself to allow myself to choose higher priority tasks and not post to this blog. (Writing my book [...]
Day 78 (2008-09-16): Surrender, joy, outcome

I talked this morning with my friend Joanne about the insights and lessons I experienced yesterday, and she offered a valuable way for me to look at it. The key is surrender. Yesterday, I didn’t judge the movie as bad and I didn’t judge my choice of how to spend my time because I surrendered [...]
Day 77 (2008-09-15): A Monday in heaven

Police closed off and evacuated my block today because a bomb was found in the parking garage behind my apartment building. (Read the details here.)
I’d left early in the morning and saw the street closed, but I didn’t think it was anything more than a street closure until I tried to return later that morning. [...]
Day 76 (2008-09-14): Another Sunday in hell

Today was another Sunday in hell. Of my own creation, of course. I was torn between wanting the day off to relax and wanting to use the time to work on some projects. So I spent the day wanting, and not experiencing much relaxation or productivity.
The worst part is that when I’m like this, I’m [...]
Day 72 (2008-09-10): How important are these posts?

An interesting consequence of raising my awareness of my priorities is that my daily posts to this blog keep falling lower and lower on my list. To the point where I didn’t get to it yesterday and almost not today.
I’m realizing I’ve been mistaking the urgency of these posts that for importance. As I taught [...]
Day 70 (2008-09-08): Shifting priorities

I began my day with the same top 10 list as yesterday. I’d worked through a good chunk of it, and intended to continue today.
It being a new day, there were new appointments and deadlines to consider. And incorporating those, the list changed as my priorities shifted. This planning process I’m using is built to [...]
Day 69 (2008-09-07): Productive planning

I teach a teleclass on Productive Planning. It’s a powerful planning process I use myself, and I’ve used successfully with clients. I’ve decided to make myself a test case for this planning process over the next several weeks, documenting my productivity and my emotional state of being. Much of it will appear in this blog.
Here’s [...]

I spoke this morning with my friend, Joanne. I was telling her how there are several situations in my life right now — any of which are not a big deal — but the convergence of all could lead to me feeling overwhelmed:
The every day challenges of running my business
My 90-Day Game to write my [...]
Day 64 (2008-09-02): The importance of self-care and full-body dentistry

I called the dentist today to make an appointment and they had a cancellation for this afternoon, so I seized the opportunity. It fell within an Integrity Day, which led to two important experiences for me.
First, the power of making a choice. Taking the afternoon appointment meant deviating from the plan I’d made for today. [...]
