Make the effort to make it happen

Don't just hope to get it done. Take the time and make the effort to make it happen.

The things you get done are the things you make a specific time for in your schedule. If it's important enough to be an intention, then it's important enough to get it scheduled.

Don't relegate your valuable intentions to an open-ended to-do list. Put them on your calendar.

There's only so much time in each day, so scheduling your intentions will force you to prioritize them. That will help you make sure the most important things actually get done.

Thoughts and intentions are important because they can define your direction. For your direction to actually matter, though, you must get yourself in motion.

Go beyond wishing, hoping, planning and talking. Take the time, take the action, and get it done.
