Step 5 Tips for Success
- Set aside enough time each month to do your tabulation, evaluation and wall chart. This time should be something you look forward to, so build in rewards by emphasizing the step that gives you the most satisfaction.
- Create a wall chart that is visually appealing to you, using colors, gold stars or other technology/tools that you find interesting. After all, you’ll be looking at it every day.
- If looking at your chart every day becomes a source of stress, take a deep breath and take a look at it when you are doing related activities. Some keep it at work, to help them appreciate that they’re earning income; some keep it by the shopping list to remind them of their intention to make wise purchasing decisions. This is a tool for positive motivation – don’t use your chart as a bludgeon or a task-master! Remember, the important thing is maximum fulfillment.
