A self-assessment

1.  I'm slowly taking on running more day-to-day operations of my company, trying to keep Hunter happy and healthy, trying to keep Kiri happy, reading philosophy, editing my novel, doing bodyweight exercises, writing projects with friends, finding time to have adventures with friends.  I weigh about 215 pounds.

2.  I want to move towards running most of the company when Hunter reaches school age, keeping Kiri happy, gaining an understanding on controlling my thoughts, writing another novel after Levi's in Africa, and having adventures with friends.  I want to be under 200 pounds with a flat belly and a tight jowl.

3.  My priorities put Kiri's and Hunter's happiness and comfort above my distractions from them.

4.  No.

5.  My purpose is to raise Hunter and keep Kiri happy.  The other stuff are my hobbies to keep me happy.



From a blog:
1. Identify where you are.
I started by listing all the specifics that were taking my resources. All of those good things—the projects, tasks and life happenings—that filled my days to overflowing. I had an “Oh, now I get it” moment as I realized all the directions I was sending my time and energy.
2. Discover where you really want to be.
I then dreamed about where I really wanted to be—drowning in the shallow end of good, or confidently swimming in the deep end of great? In order to get deep into great, I had to be honest about those projects, tasks and life seasons where I really wanted to focus. Which did I care about and want to pursue above the others?
3. Consider what’s holding you back.
Then, came the tough questions. What good things were drowning me? What was holding me back? What good things were getting in my way of doing something great, or doing anything at all?
4. Let go of good for better. 
Next, came the hard part of letting go. I had to confront my hang-ups to letting go of those good projects, tasks and happenings. I couldn’t let guilt control me anymore—if I wanted to swim in great, I needed to go through the challenging process of letting go of the excess good.
5. Live simply with purpose where you are.
Finally, it was time to pursue my new focus on purpose and with appreciation. What would I do today to implement my new simple, intentional, contented focus?
