Today, I attended Craig Harper's Renovate Your Life Sydney workshop. It is now up to me to utilise his knowledge, ideas, strategies and tools to create amazing in my own life.
Lesson 1: To be different you must do different.
So, the first thing I will do is create a detailed plan of how I will achieve my goals. I've done goal setting before, but not to the extent that Craig does. I need to first identify the goal, identify the outcomes from achieving that goals. But I think what I haven't ever really done is set progressive goals. I have simply written 'I want to lose 15 kg by my birthday/Christmas' or 'I want a university degree.' People who know me will know I have never had a proper study timetable, and they'll know how much of a procrastinator I am, and how I love chocolate. I can sometimes easily and happily spend 3 hours a day swimming, cycling, running (which is a slow jog at the moment!) but eating rubbish after or before that will be simply undoing my good work. Those behaviours will not allow me to effectively achieve my goal (setting non-negotiable behaviours will be discussed soon).
Craig gave us an A4 version of his Goal Setting Framework. Until physical space and money becomes available when I can invest in a large whiteboard, I will do the butcher paper method and stick it on my wall.

Hi Jules!
thanks for commenting on my blog. (twice!)
I wish I could have gone to the RYL workshop - brissy was the closest - but I had other things happening and couldn't afford the fuel on the day (I live near Byron Bay NSW)
From all accounts I've heard the workshop was amazing.
I shall be putting to use the things I learn from his website and articles he posts until he time where I can go to a RYL workshop :)
keep up the great work!
My pleasure, Annie. You're doing great yourself.
Yes, RYL was great- had so much fun. It reinforced a lot of what is on the site and sometimes hearing it, not just reading it, makes a difference and sends alarm bells ringing in your head. I'm sick of over-thinking and under-doing and making stupid excuses for not doing stuff today. It's all crap. Got to stop kidding myself and get on with life. I don't want another 28 yrs of mediocre. I want my next 28 years (and beyond) to be amazing. Exciting times are ahead of me, with starting my career as a paramedic. Sounds like exciting timse are ahead for you too with your wedding and more triathlons! Go girl!!
