  Organizing Thought of the Day

Tasks: Maintenance Versus Progress


A maintenance task is a task that once completed, will have to be done over and over again to get you to the same result each time. For instance, laundry is a maintenance task. The laundry builds. You do the laundry. You're finished with the laundry. Then, the cycle starts all over again. Other examples of maintenance tasks are filing, washing dishes, making the bed, ironing or vacuuming.

A progress task will help you reach a position which is further than the one you are in now. For example, if you take Spanish lessons, hopefully you will progress in your knowledge and skill of the Spanish language with each new lesson. Other progress tasks are taking on challenging responsibilities at work in an effort to gain a promotion, jogging in order to lose weight, taking voice lessons to advance your singing abilities or advancing your marketing knowledge to grow a business.

It's very easy for To Do lists to get bogged down with maintenance tasks, while progress tasks get pushed to the bottom of the barrel. Of course, when this happens, progress stops and you're basically just on a merry-go-round not getting any further tomorrow, then you were the day before.

Each day, take a look at your To Do list. While it's necessary to include maintenance tasks on your list each day, try to always fit at least a few progress tasks into your schedule.

This way, you'll always be in growth mode and ready to advance to even higher levels in life.

Problem Behaviors with...


Brain Training for Dogs

You'll love this...

No matter what your dog's problem behavior is, be it jumping, peeing in the house, aggression, pulling on the leash...or whatever, there is ONE SOLUTION that can help STOP this problem now.

The sad fact is, most dog trainers miss this solution entirely. They give you cookie cutting training programs. They use outdated, mean, and unkind dominance techniques. Or worse yet, they have no qualifications to be offering advice. So what's the answer to stopping your dog's behavioral problems? In 5 simple words...

Discovering your dog's hidden intelligence.

Let me explain. More intelligent dogs are better behaved. A more intelligent dog takes commands easier and understands what you need. The good news is, no matter how clever you think your dog is, you can unlock your pet's hidden intelligence quickly and easily.

Don't waste a second longer coping with problem behaviors you don't need to be dealing with. Visit this link to learn more about Brain Training for Dogs:
