Make the change from all or nothing to all or something, or better yet, something or something and Be Finally Free

ok – this all or nothing has to change…I slipped up on all my goals and new habits I’m trying to intergrate into my life…
I ended up doing none of them…what a silly state to get into.

I’ve also decided (which may seem like I don’t agree with this goal because it focuses on ALL again rather then something. I’ve read a few times that it takes 40 days to create a habit and that is 40 days IN A ROW. (It’s also 40 days in Kundalini Yoga that is key) So… back to square 1 again for the drinking water and the rest of the tasks

I am an all or nothing person. When I give my all this is a great part of my but when I decide to do nothing, well everything goes wrong. Last night I decided to use my palm pilot (my second brain – all part of my strategy to organize myself which is working) to set up some routines:
1 Morning routine
2 Office AM routine
3 Lunchtime routine
4 dinnertime routine
5 Office PM routine
6 Nighttime routine

they each have so many steps and cover everything from Rising and showering (has an alarm so marks the start of the routine) to cleaning my teeth! I figure if I can just get these basic things into place the rest of the time inbetween these routines will be more productive. Am office starts with doing emails/messages for 1 hour and checking post. PM office routine involves filing away and clearing desk ready for next day. so many times I try to structure too much (because of my lack of structure) and it falls apart. I’ve decided the most important things I’d like to do CONSISTANTLY and these involve these routines. I feel very confident about this. I know Im going to have to work hard at the MOTIVATION do start the routine but once started I hope I’ll follow each step then when its done Ill be motivated enough to then have a productive day!
whooooooo…........I’ll consider this goal completed when I have completed my routines for 2 months and that the ‘inbetween’ the routines are functioning effectively.

the routines actually consist of many of the goals I have on 43 things, like brushing hair properly and brushing teeth, simple things etc. I’ve set up another 43 things for the BIG things like visiting the ice hotel etc. Going to treat them separately but this list is the priority. I figure if I get the little things right the big things will come.
