Actions

Actions are like hand grips on the rock face. Even if you can't quite see where you are going, you just look up for the next one and grab it, then once you have mastered that, reach for the next one.

Even if you don't have a coach there are other systems out there to help you move forward. For a while David was keen on the SMI stuff, which helped develop your own set of goals and to-do lists.

The trick to having a list of actions is to commit to them, and one of the best ways to do this is if you tell someone else what you are planning to do. Then there is always that great loss of face

scenario when they ask you how you are doing as you run 10K every day or whatever. Have a look at the Discomfort Zone and see what Tim signed up for. He (crazy man) has gone public on his blog with what seems an impossible list of things he's going to give up for 30 days. The incentive? all of us who read his blog are going to give him so much stick when he falls of the wagon!!

So what ever you choose, a coach, a friend, a list stuck to the fridge, ACTIONS are a simple way to keep momentum moving forward. I must say that this works really well if you are feeling a bit below par, it helps to make progress inspite of how you might feel physically.
