Back From Vacation and Changes Coming Soon.

I spent the last 4 days in Mexico on vacation.

I rented a house right on the beach in Los Conchas. It’s near Puerto Penasco aka Rocky Point in the state of Sonora a mere 4.5 hours from Phoenix.

I rented the house myself and invited 4 friends who joined me for a VERY relaxing time.

I ate way too much food and spent the majority of my time there sleeping, reading, soaking up the sun and enjoying the sounds of the Sea of Cortez only 50 feet from the porch.

At night I was lulled to sleep by the waves and the cool night air.

I decided to treat myself to this vacation as a way of stimulating my brain in a different way.

The trip was inspired by the story that James Brausch tells about how a cruise helped him with his success. He’s recently posted an update from his last cruise here: http://www.jamesbrausch.com/?p=622

I had my breakthrough driving from Arizona to Los Conchas. I wasn’t even there when I had a big idea hit me and become clear.

Here’s the break though I had: I need to FOCUS on a SINGLE, CLEAR and SPECIFIC goal.

Wow! How simple that statement seems and no doubt will be dismissed by most. But I challenge and encourage you to apply this idea to yourself and you current situation.

Might it be that the tiny tweak of focusing your efforts is the key to you rapidly increasing your forward progress toward your goal.

I’ll bet that this is indeed a key contributor to your frustration.

Focus on a single goal that you can physically achieve in the next 5-10 days and finish it… no matter what.

As for this blog, it will change in the following manner. I will migrate it to a permanent domain instead of the place holder it currently uses. I’ll most likely move it to RichardLee.com and restructure it in the style of JamesBrausch.com, AaronBrandon.com and EdRivis.com.

And to answer the inquiries and comments… Yes I will add a sign up box so you’ll know when a new blog post appears and Yes I’ll include an RSS feed of some sort as well. I’ll be using http://www.blogcastcourse.com/ which I purchased today as well as http://kunaki.com/Sales.asp?PID=PX00ZMKDSK which I bought last week and it arrived while I was on vacation.

p.s. I took no pictures while in Mexico but my friends took several including a pair of very playful dolphins that were gallivanting just a little way off shore from the front porch of our house. I’ll try and post them here soon.

This Months Automation Payoff

I just sat down and payed the only bills I havn’t automated yet. There’s three of them and even though I had some issues with the Web site for one of them, the timer I started when I launched my browser said 4 minutes and 53 seconds when I finished.

That’s the total time I though about my bills this month.

For previous comentary on this see http://bonusdays.wordpress.com/2007/03/25/automate/

How much time are spending paying your bills?

How much time do you spend thinking about your bills?

What negative affects might this have on you?
