Here is a simple 4-part plan to start the new year successfully:
- set a daily goal (and write it down!)
- set a schedule (and write it down on your calendar or planner)
- ask for help (knowledge and accountability)
- keep track (find a way to quantify the goal, and then measure it)
Start putting these four steps into practice today, and begin to build your streak!

Dear Paula,
Thankyou for this wonderful podcast series.
I have recently started using the GTD system and the bullet Journal inspired by your podcasts.
You mention that you use a student handbook… is this just a notebook or do you have a printed resource ? Similarily is your practice wall chart home made or preprinted.
And finally. Is it possible to share an individual podcast on facebook (for me to share with families ) ? I have shared the whole series as on itunes on my studio facebook. I think it would be ideal for me to share individual podcasts initially which would draw people in.
Grateful Thanks
Maureen Quinn Suzuki Violin Teacher Glasgow,Scotland.
Of course. I hope more people can get excited by the podcast. I wonder though if FB gets credit for the view? I know I post links to my site on FB myself. So go ahead! I’m so happy to hear that you have found a valuable use from the podcast.
