DFQ #17:
PEEL A PROBLEM ORANGE!
Choosing one of the three problem areas you thought of above give yourself an orange to peel. Complete (with, who, when and where) the following sentence:Regarding my (#1 problem) I will PTO ….
Regarding my financial retirement plans I will PTO by thinking more about my investment portfolio, take an active role in plan for retirement in ten years.
Regarding my rather huge and difficult workload recently given to me by my manager which requires me to break from the mould and pioneer new ground, (which is always a gamble), I will PTO by sourcing the strength and the courage to commit and stay the path. This will require me to make huge personal changes and to do things that I will not be comfortable with in any way whatsoever and so I will go to hell and back simply because I’m absolutely sure I will be a better person for it or die trying KAMAKAZE!!!
Fingers crossed.
To insure that my wife and I will have enough to live on, I will start a new business, as a backstop, to be prepared, in the event that my only client dies. He is 83.
I will PTO to consider everything that has to be done to have a successful start.
Regarding my #1 problem which is no not let money get in the way of partnershipI will PTO with my partner every day so we are sure that our relationship is on track, focused and meaningful. this means ensuring it is not taken for granted and dont dependent on or impacted by outside factors
Regarding my lack of romantic relationship I will PTO and discuss the best course of action with someone I trust and respect, next Tuesday, at their place.
Regarding my problem with setting and keeping a stable daily timetable for writing, I will resolve to peel the orange immediately. I am the only one who this matter concerns, and I must commit to a routine during a feasible time period, behind my computer terminal and desk, with as few interruptions as possible; mental or physical.
my no 1 problem is dealing with expectations others put on me and trying to rationalize the use of my time and energy, i will not end up a slave to others needs. my pto is to stay true to myself and what i believe
Regarding my family’s need for $2K more in income per month to cover our obligations, I will PTO by praying daily for inspiration and guidance; I will go from uncheck-to-check in meaningful ways with 10 customers per day; and, as I succeed I will give back to my community, helping others who struggle financially in this poor economy.

Regarding my (#1 problem) I will PTO – to balance my finance.
to save my relationship we need to talk but haven’t got into that headspace yet, have chosen my academic courses and am happy with that, I am my own boss and can be difficult, I can’t speak in public and don’t intend to but am fantastic one on one on my chosen field of expertise, I have enough friends, don’t need to lose weight probably need to gain it more than anything, hate telephone salespeople and hang up on them so wouldn’t become one as I would get the same treatment, my partner pays the mortgage I pay for food and half the bills, we don’t have much money but are not in need of much anyway
