All discipline begins with a organizational system for all the things in your life. Allen's approach is pretty intensive so be prepared to really work hard on his system. I am taking my whole company through a workshop with a coach using this approach. Master that and I'll give you the next lesson I learned about dicipline. It's not easy for us "all in" types but it is possible to learn some new techniques that will change our life. I think it will take the rest of my journey to master but it sure has been worth the investment so far. I look forward to hearing about your progress.

You mentioned near the end of the article resources you began using to develop a more disciplined life. Do you have a list of resources posted someplace and/or some practical suggestions for daily living? I'm more of the "all or nothing" type and I really need to come to a place of balance and discipline in my relationship with God and others. Thank you for your heart and you willingness to put it out there for us to see. Blessings, Penny Howard Dear Mike,
