Mental Hoarding Will Kill Your Goal Achievement

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 11:00:18 +0000

You’ve probably seen, or at least heard of, the show, Hoarders. It’s about people who have become so attached to their things that they can’t bear to let them go or throw them away. It gets so bad in many cases on the show that houses are unsafe to live in. Junk clutters the entire […]

Progress Depends on Doing the Little Things Daily

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 13:41:05 +0000

As we work towards our Goals, it’s easy to get discouraged, because we don’t always see progress. We want a quick result or at least something we can see every time we look, but that’s not how we should measure progress all the time. Sometimes, our progress has to be measured in the daily actions […]

Goals vs Resolutions

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Tue, 29 Jan 2019 13:01:02 +0000

As we near the end of January of the New Year, it’s that magical time for two groups of people. For those who have Resolutions for the New Year, the overwhelming majority either have or shortly will give up and return to their old lives or at least pretending to work on change in their […]

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Fri, 25 Jan 2019 13:49:00 +0000

I missed last week’s update, and I really am kicking myself for it. First I want to do this every week and second, I had a really good week last week. Had a good week this week too. So, here we go… On January 18th I weighed in at 247.6 pounds for a loss of […]

3 Reasons Why People Fail at New Year’s Resolutions

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 13:38:58 +0000

Each year on January 1st, a large segment of the population think they become super-achievers and Goal-Setters. They “set” New Year’s Resolutions, firmly (sort of) intending to change their lives. Some people loudly proclaim their resolutions. By the end of January, almost all of them are done. They aren’t done because they’ve accomplished their resolutions, […]

What to Do When Your Goals Progess is Slow

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 14:22:48 +0000

Good Goals are ones that take a little time and effort, sometimes a lot, to do. If our Goals are too easy, why bother, right? You can just put them on your to-do list and not go through all the fuss of the Goal-Setting process. Big Goals, or at least Goals that take time, effort […]

Weight-Loss Goal – Update for Week 11

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 13:17:09 +0000

This is an interesting week as far as the weight loss Goal goes. First, the weight. My weigh-in yesterday was 249.8 pounds. This was up 1.2 pounds from last week. The last 3 days, my weight has been essentially unchanged each day. 249.9, 249.9 and 249.8. That’s pretty rare for me. However, I do like […]

Goal-Setting and a Morning Routine

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Fri, 11 Jan 2019 14:35:33 +0000

There is a definite correlation between achieving our Goals and our morning routine, and it should support our pursuit of our Goals. A morning routing is what you do in the morning from when you get up to when you leave for or start work. The end point is up to you. A typical morning […]

3 Ways Goals Are Better Than Resolutions

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 13:43:17 +0000

I want to talk a little bit about the difference between Resolutions and Goals. In an ideal world, they’re the same thing when structured correctly. However, in the real world, they just aren’t anywhere near the same. Why is that? Every year it seems everyone including their brother-in-law’s hamster has some New Year’s Resolutions. So […]

Distractions – The Negative and the Positve

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 14:09:39 +0000

Distractions are the bane of the achiever’s existence. Why? When we get distracted, we change our focus. Our rhythm is disrupted. Our flow is interrupted. If you’re in the Zone, one of the worst things is for someone to drop by your desk, office or wherever you’re “Zoning” and strike up a conversation. In the […]

New Year – New You or Old You?

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 14:22:37 +0000

The New Year is a time many of us look at ourselves and our lives to see what we can do better. We look at what we’ve accomplished. We look at what we want to accomplish. It’s a logical starting point, right? The calendar rolls over to a new year and the months begin again […]

Don’t Let Distractions Break Your Habits

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Tue, 25 Jul 2017 19:19:45 +0000

Since yesterday’s blog post was about habits and keeping the streak alive, I suppose it would be really hypocritical of me to not post again today and hopefully tomorrow and so on. Habits have to begin somewhere, right? What causes us to abandon our habits are distractions. Sure there’re many things that cause us to […]

Do You Know What You’re Doing?

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Sat, 08 Oct 2016 04:36:22 +0000

Seriously. Do you know what you are doing? I know that seems like an insulting question, but I’m not implying that you’re an idiot. What I mean is, do you have a plan that you are following? Do you know the next steps and the ones after that? Do you know what you should be […]

On your success journey, you will need to change your old, limiting beliefs into new, empowering beliefs, so let’s go over some things you can do to reinforce those new beliefs, because there WILL be times when your beliefs are tested and you fall back into the old ones. A great technique is visualizations. Visualization […]

Don’t Gum Up the Works

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:00:19 +0000

When I did my first draft of my vision, it was 5 typed pages single-spaced. The day was absolutely crammed with things I thought I wanted to do. I still do, just not in the typical day a vision describes. I realized I had “gummed up the works” as it were. It was partially because […]
