Pragmatic Practice # 10: Personal Focus Session

Whenever you are overwhelmed with many specifics in your head. 

Do the following:

1. Go to bed early.
2. Wake up early.   (Update: The Great Matz of Cook DIng's Kitchen recommended the importance of working out before the sun rises. This practice is quite popular with Taiji players)
3. Pack a pencil, some paper and a set of colored pens into your backpack.
4. Find a quiet setting with minimum distractions.  Try a library.
5. Avoid carrying your mobile devices.
6. CENTER yourself to the ground.  Stand quietly for a long moment before scripting.
7. SCRIPT all of your priorities in terms of positives and negatives. 
8. PRIORITIZES it accordingly.
9. CONNECT an approach to each priority
10. CONNECT an contingency plan to each approach
11. Assess your situation in terms of the Five Critical Strategic Factors (Dao, Tien, Dian, Jiang and Fa).
12. RE-SCRIPT your points (implement step #7-#10) until you do believe that it is correct.

When done properly, this tactile practice presents a meta-feel between you and your goal and your objectives.
