When you form your own mission statement, you are accomplishing a number of things that will get you on your way

to your desired state or goal.

1. What would your life story be about?2. What have you devoted your time and talents to?3. This becomes a personal standard for you, a self-created

road map of how you will choose to live despite the unpredictable things in life and the emotions associated.

PRESUPPOSITIONS - SAFETY

1. Behind every behavior there is a positive intention.1. Find the original intention for the behavior. Then you create a new and better

choice to preserve the positive intention and allow for behavioral change.

2. People already have all the resources they need.1. Conscious access to these resources at appropriate times and places will

enable a person to move from present state to desired state.2. Chunking and practice will give you the full benefit of your resources.

3. The messenger never rests until the message is delivered.1. When there is a symptom or communication, it’s important to pay attention.

4. People always make the best choice available to them at the time.1. There are often better choices. 2. The goal is to discover more effective options. 3. Learn to take feedback.

5. Choice is better than no choice.1. The element in a system with the most flexibility has the most control.2. One way = stuck, 2 options = dilemma, 3 or more options = choices

Page 12: Jump start with Jody

PRESUPPOSITIONS - PERSPECTIVE

1. The map is not the territory.1. People respond to their map or interpretation, not to reality itself.2. Explore the commonalities we share, rather than alienating one another

because we are different.

2. The meaning of you communication is the response you get.1. Effective communication creates an experience for the listener or reader. The

quality of our communication is based on the response we elicit, and may not necessarily match what we intended to communicate.

Page 13: Jump start with Jody

PRESUPPOSITIONS - LEARNING

1. Anything can be accomplished when the task is broken down into small enough chunks.

1. All tasks contain various levels of detail.2. Tasks are completed when all the necessary details are put together.3. An outcome that may seem overwhelming can be accomplished when

approached one step at a time.

2. If one person can do something, anyone can.1. It’s possible to discover the components and strategies needed to achieve a

particular result and teach it to anyone else.

3. There is no such thing as failure, only feedback.1. Everything is a learning opportunity. 2. Separate behavior from identity.3. Recognize when the behavioral choices a person makes describes their

identity.

4. If what you are doing isn’t working, do anything else.1. A definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again,

expecting different results. (Albert Einstein)

Timer, MS Outlook, etc.• Use a planning calendar app on your phone or tablet• Set a deadline• Set reminders

• Keep your timeline and check it often• Plan your week on Sunday night• Plan the next day before bed

• Take your list of goals• Get out the sample goal sheet• Let’s set a goal

Page 15: Jump start with Jody

ACCOUNTABILITY AND STRATEGY

• Use your planning system• Check it throughout your day• Have a task list• Check things off as you accomplish them

• When you leave things incomplete, it will wear you out• Knowing you have completed your tasks each day will

invigorate you and get you motivated• Don’t let yourself get lazy• Don’t put anything off that is a priority for the day• Keep reviewing your priorities

Page 16: Jump start with Jody

USING YOUR CALENDAR TO THE FULLEST

• Look at each day separately• Every weekend plan for the coming week• Set your goals• Prioritize your goals• Cover all the important bases• Each morning look at your planner and each night check the

next day• Check off what is done as you complete it• Keep notes for yourself• Keep on top of what you need to complete today

BE REALISITIC• If it won’t fit in the time you have today, put it in for tomorrow

with a higher priority
