Its automatic. You can use MS Outlook reminder tool too. To be practical, for example, If you want to loose weight & you have to exercise everyday at 7pm, just add the reminder on the phone as in: Goal 1: Loose Weight Activity: Exercise @7pm Goal 2: Increase traffic to our blog Activity: Post at least once a day @ 5pm Goal 3: Increase business network Activity: Attend networking session every Friday @ 8pm I use my mobile phone or PDA to set the focus reminders.

As others have pointed out, your use of stories to teach is a wonderful way of bringing the message to life and helping it stick. Wanted to point out also (as Tim Ferris does in his article) that the originator of the complaint-free purple bracelets is Will Bowen of the Unity church in Kansas City (http://www.acomplaintfreeworld.org/); I've been wearing mine for about a year, now :-) Many thanks for your incisive writing.

Write and you will focus because we cannot hold two thoughts at the same time. When you write you are Forcing your mind to focus on what you are writing. That is why it is advisable to write out what problems/obstacles you are trying to overcome. Because it forces you to think about it correctly. And, have you ever noticed how you might be trying to Think of something but cannot. Then you turn to someone and ask, "Hey, what's..." and before you get the question out the answer has popped into your head. You couldn't think of it before because you hadn't actually Asked for the answer. Write. Write and you will focus because we cannot hold two thoughts at the same time.

The only part that I wasn't in tune with was the FOCUS acronym. If one way doesn't work, there are others ways of approaching problems/hurdles. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the page and especially the story! This was an eye opening article for me. The only part that I wasn’t in tune with was the FOCUS acronym.
