I do this too, and it goes without saying :) You've highlighted a very interesting point, I'll be sure to clarify it in my future posts. Yes, it is important to stick to your plan, but it's okay to change them when your reasons are valid. The main idea of mine was that if you planned to do something, and then procrastinate or do something instead which you feel like doing, that's something you have to fight. That's the true discipline - do things which have to be done when they need to be done (according to your plan), and not just when you feel like working on them. That’s a great technique, Andrew!

I find many individuals don't give themselves permission to do something - might be as simple as turning off their mobile phone. Back to this post. 'I give myself permission to change my plan'. Once you have a plan, yes stick to it, but review it and change it as necessary. You are allowed to change it, better it to reach your end target, goal. Also if you get the chance review you plan with someone else - you may be too close to it. Andrew I have a motto which starts ‘I give myself permission to…’; then you add anything you want!

Yes, to many people regular reviews don't seem to be too valuable unless something goes wrong and justifies such a review. But ultimately, it is only through regular reviews that you can reach an acceptable level of consistency in your results. Very well noted, Francis!

Also, I think there are different "levels" of review for each -- a beginner will probably do a systems review only when something breaks, while an experienced user will schedule in regular reviews in order to make improvement happen.
