In a super concise nutshell, and never replacing its reading, the points I highlight for those Information Security experts following this blog already for years are the following:
- A monthly plan is much more effective than a daily plan. Days go differently as planned but months give you the time you need to achieve your goals.
- Short-term targets need to be anchored to long-term targets, otherwise they are very dangerous.
- Our will power requires energy. More specifically, it requires glucose in our brain.
- Decision taking also requires energy. If you have no energy, do not take decisions that time.
- We can train our will power. Start with baby steps, right as I recommend in my IT Security Management book.
- Being part of a community with goals similar to ours always help to grow will power. The opposite is unfortunately also true.
- When you prepare your to-do lists, fine grain your complex goals into manageable activities.
- Proposal: Work with bi-weekly or monthly plans and revise them.
- For parents: Make your children participate in the creation of the family's plans and their plans (and even yours).
- If you are tired, do not decide or get exposed to tempting situations. Maybe the most important learning point of this book.
Happy will power!
