<h3>TAKING AND KEEPING CONTROL</h3>
 
You are never too old to do anything you want to 
do, become who you\'d like to be, meet the man of 
your choice, become financially secure or take 
the world by storm. It\'s yours for the asking. 
However, you may have to make some minor 
adjustments to make it happen just the way you 
want to, so here are some helpful hints to do 
just that. 
 
1.	Know your body clock. Do your best things at 
the worst time and vice-versa. 
2.	Group like things together. If you have to 
run errands, group them geographically. Do items 
at non peak times and make phone calls 
consecutively. 
3.	Put things on a single sheet of paper. If you 
have a hard time keeping track of things, having 
a dozen different lists only complicates things. 
Take each key area of your life and make a 
heading for it. Then list the things you need to 
get done under the heading. 
4.	Divide things into segments. Learn to slice 
and dice things into five, ten and fifteen minute 
segments. You\'d be surprised how much you 
accomplish by utilizing every spare moment you 
have. 
5.	Prioritize, rank and delegate. Put things in 
A, B, C order and then rank it 1, 2 and 3. Then 
decide if someone else can do it for you. If you 
don\'t follow this rule, you just have to work 
longer. 
6.	Does this \"thing\" have anything to do with 
where you want to go? Believe it or not, the 
majority of what you do has nothing to do with 
what you personally want or where you want to go 
in life. 
7.	Make a decision and stick to it. Don\'t second 
guess yourself, If you\'ve weighed the choices and 
done the best you could, don\'t feel guilty. 
8.	Don\'t spread yourself too thin. You have a 
large capacity to do many things at once, but are 
the only person who can judge your ability to 
juggle one against another. 
9.	Don\'t make changes all at once. Don\'t go on a 
diet, stop smoking or move all at one time. It\'s 
too much! 
10.	Walk your talk. If you do what you say, 
people will expect it. 
11.	Have realistic time tables. Don\'t set 
yourself up for failure. Always get up one more 
time. Reward yourself with small nuggets of 
success. 
12.	Be assertive and set limits others will 
respect. Don\'t get angry with someone because 
you\'ve let them step all over you. It\'s up to 
you to show how you want to be treated. Take a 
pro-active position and stop reacting. 
13.	To avoid feeling overwhelmed, you must plan. 
Since only 50% of what happens to you in a day 
can be controlled, schedule your \"have-to\'s\" and 
focus on only one thing at a time. 
14.	Be a role model. If you practice Success 
Rules, you\'ll be more pleasant to be around, make 
better choices and a lot happier. 
 
There is a light at the end of every tunnel. You 
will self-correct along the way. This is a 
continuous journey, not a destination.
