Hi Mike,

Here is a resource which I believe might be of interest to you.

There is a book (entitled "To Do, Doing. DONE!" by Lynne Snead and Joyce Wycoff) which I HIGHLY recommend you read for 4 reasons:

1) It takes a CREATIVE approach to project management. (It help answer the question WHAT DO YOU WANT? "I know Gordon has been asking this for a LONG time on discussion boards")

2) It shows you how to choose IMPORTANT projects based on your VALUES (It assists you in answering another important questions: WHY DO YOU WANT IT? sound familiar????)

3) It integrates TIME MANAGEMENT with PROJECT MANAGEMENT (HOW DO I GET WHAT I WANT? "This is where the ACTION STEPS come into play)

4) It is as SIMPLE as V.P.I.C

Here are some tidbits:

- 4 step Process to all projects:
Visualize, Plan, Implement, Close

- Why do projects fail?
Ans: The project did not meet expectations

- Why do projects succeed?
SUCCESS IS EQUAL TO MET EXPECTATIONS!!!!!

I hope that this has inspired you to at least take a look at the book. It applies not just to managing projects, but to managing your life!

If you have any questions, please let me know. I am here to HELP and LEARN.

Sincerely,

Duane Adolph
