- I cant really be effective by internalizing the Daily Drill, and I can't really just do the Daily Drill without meaningful objectives. The MVVA should be the top priority.
- I dont think I've been very aggressive about planning win-win scenarios when it comes to setting goals. For example, I dont ask - how can I get this need filled or this objective reached by also helping out someone else. Or, I could more consistently ask myself the opposite: how can my needs or objectives be a way for someone else to meet their needs or objectives? I've been so eager to prove that I am effective in a sort of rebellious way, that I often miss out on things like meeting etiquette or effectiveness best-practices. As a result, I can see how obvious tug-of-war type conflicts and lost opportunities have hurt me.
- The MVVA is a big project; it's going to probably take the entire year [thru until 5/13] to get it fully fleshed out. Naturally most of it will be done in the next few weeks/months. It needs to be a foundation, like a platform, so I can be nimble but still stay focused on the 5/13 objectives. It shouldn't be a rigid engineering plan.
- It's ok to prioritize the MVVA and it's ok to fail in the beginning. Like I said; it's a big deal, so knowing what's feasible and what isn't takes experiential learning.
- I've learned that it's really all about energy and focus. My two big killers of that combination are lack of veggies [my juicer getting fixed is a top priority!]; and getting emotionally distracted from things like my wounded marriage and other disappointments.
- The Daily Drill is an excellent tool, but not alone. It's simply a prompt to ensure I'm crossing off to-dos on my PERSPIPS lists. Therefore, it has to be reinforce the plan - which isnt complete. It can reinforce short-term PERSPIPS stuff, which is probably the best tack to take, given the above.
- I have emotional hang-ups about myself, sex, my self image, being valued - or not - by people in my life. I shouldn't accept hang-ups simply to cope with whatever situation. I want to deal with them in a more honest and productive way.
- Working out is all about the high heart rate and that happens when I eat right, take my meds/veggies, and use my more developed muscles. My legs, for example are pretty weak, so expecting that I can rely on them to get my heart rate up for long periods of time is not realistic.
- My biggest delays have been b/c I was oblivious to what is happening in the world and how to connect my value to that. I started off my job hunt with only what I wanted to do and sent out all the wrong messages.
- I need some great tools for very quickly identifying 'where the action is' at a high-level. I'm weak in understanding, "ok, what's going on here?" on a variety of levels. For example, I never really understood the corporate environment at several employers. I didn't know how to read the marketplace/economic/social patterns when launching my agency. I pissed away 2-3 months in my job hunt, per the above.
It would be easy to say June is/was a failure, but it's not. I'm still learning.
