Focus the power of targeted thinking

A way of improving time management / goal setting that is based on what seemed to me to be a novel approach that might just work - You set a goal e.g. to reach a target weight, you do whatever you think will get you there, you monitor your progress, if it's working just carry on, if not, try something different. Overall your goal is to keep trying something different until you find something that works.

As long as you are trying something different you are making progress - think back to Edison and the discovery of 10,00 ways not to make a lightbulb.
