Clickerty- Clack, Clickerty – Click"

Hello  

It swayed more than I remembered, far more.

It bumped and grinded and bounced – though my mind only recalled
smoothness - as a younger traveller.

In fact...

This latest experience just scratched jagged lines across the cherry- blossom memories of many exciting railway adventures of my younger days. Off for two weeks in August to a B and B in Torquay. Dad didn’t come - he was too busy working.

A week in a rainy caravan in Tallybont – all journeys from where we were to where we were going in a locomotive with flip-tailed carriages and a guard’s van to stop them falling off the end.

You know...

There’s another track to track us; you and me; to where we’re going and just the other day I was lying down on mine as a train of thoughts clattered noisily overhead.

This one...

This track – does what it’s supposed to do – keep us on track.

Let me explain myself:

As I’ve wandered down memories down too many lines already.

Here goes:

What you need – is a long track do-list – yes!

Take some time and examine everything – and write down in the back of your usual note pad (paper or electronic) – every action you need to take to accomplish everything you know you want to do in the next – say 12 months.

This long-track can be precisely that – a long, long track – no matter for the moment.

Check your diary system, check your email, check your desk, your mind, your briefcase, car and any other physical or mental hidey-hole where you keep – stuff! Make certain your long-track has everything recorded.

Then...

Prioritise the long-track. As it ‘s along list just prioritise using A, B and C to start with – and then when you've grouped the items or actions in some sort of group order. Take each group and prioritise using numbers. You’ll then have this great long list in precise order of actions to be taken! WOW!

After that...

Each day – check your long-track and transfer items on to your daily do list – perfect.

If other items come up, other actions to be taken – slot them into your long track and on the appropriate day transfer them to that day’s do list.

What a relief it is...

To know where every action is listed – knowing when they’ll pop up to be done. Off to bed each night safe and secure in the knowledge everything is in its place – never to be missed.

And so...

If your daily journeys have, at times, been a mish-mash of busy thoughts – wondering quite where you are or when you’ll arrive – with your long-track in place now - you will take methodical, money-making, marketing, meaningful, marvellous journeys from where you are to precisely where you truly wish to be.

You will write your long track – won’t you?

I thought I heard a ‘Yes’ then – did I?

Oh good!
 

Go on then...
