Consistency

As I contemplated the New Year on Jan. 1st. I decided that I was really going work at setting goals this year. So as not to overwhelm myself I decided to keep my goals small, somethng to build on. So in reflecting where I needed some "work" I decided my new goal word to sum things up for this year is "Consistancy".
This is a definition from Dictionary.com: steadfast adherence to the same principles, course, form, etc.: There is consistency in his pattern of behavior.
Yep, that sounds just like what I need. So I am off to the book store to get me some books on becoming "consistent". This is how I tackle things, I find my answers in books.
Wow! I must not be the only one suffering from this affliction. There were literally hundreds of books to choose from. So I needed to narrow it down to specifics. So where did I need to start? I don't want to answer that here so I will just say that the book I chose was "Getting Things Done" by David Allen. Not only did I buy the "book" I also bought the audio book! We cant have too much re enforcement now can we (this is the way my mind works).
Since another goal I set for myself was to start doing something to get myself in better shape physically I figured that I would be really good and listen to it while I was sweating away on my treadmill. Then, when I had some quiet time, I could pick up the book and read what I had listened to on my player. Now wait, I need to tell you that if I was going to really commit to walking the treadmill I needed to treat myself to a brand spanking new player, new walking shoes, new outfits for walking, you get the picture. I am all geared up! So now I am all set to start on my path......this is going to be the year I get my stuff together.
That was at the beginning of January and this is the beginning of February.....and I am sad to report that I have gotten no things done.... treadmill is dusty, shoes still a bright white. I have worn the new outfits because that are really comfy to wear around the house. I haven't even gotten past the beginning of the book! The only thing I have been able to be consistent at is shopping and spending MONEY!!! Why is that such a natural thing with me??? What am I going to do???? Is there help for me and is there a book that covers this??? (and does it come in an audio?) .....
