“Lil bit by lil bit, does make big bit!” How many times has my mother repeated that to me? It was most often aimed at improving my habits with money. I use it all the time now to approach life as it comes.
I started weight training early this year. It was my first step back into a gym since I found myself with my face stuck to the sandy floor of Saga’s gym, decades ago, unable to complete a pushup. The first question this time was “Why do you want to weight train?”, “I want to be strong.”
I have been manoeuvring towards weights for some time. Year before I spent each weekday morning doing self-resistance workouts and strengthening my body and my habits. It’s been a good year on the weight machine under supervision. I am getting strong. We take measurements every eight weeks and the improvements are welcomed!
I always leave home early enough to arrive at the machine in a relaxed focused state. Habits are essential to success. When a goal is decided and a route is determined, planning should include the incremental habits that help accomplish the objectives. Habits carry out the support of the surface processes.
At work I use technology to help maintain good security habits around the information used by the business. I design ways to do the right thing in an efficient manner which is supported by constant awareness training.
We now work with automated systems to complete regular tasks for preserving data accuracy. Awareness training creates appreciation of the value of exact information and why it is important to guard the data’s integrity.
I am still using my mother’s advice when I design these solutions. There are no simple solutions that will work everywhere. Each goal is unique and should be treated likewise. Within each project there are new challenges that are better solved with equally new solutions. Remember to include the essential and the incremental.
