Use each room or landmark on your journey to “signpost” different parts of the speech or each step of the process you need to remember.

Good time management processes let you concentrate on one thing at a time. When your habits are not conducive to effective time management, then it’s time to change. Habits can be difficult to modify, but the effects are beneficial and rewarding. Don’t multi-task. Multi-tasking is inefficient. Keep a daily, prioritized to-do list.

A process of elimination will begin and one particular area may get traction through luck and coincidence that starts to feel like the front-runner. To vividly imagine what you want allows you to clarify your desires and it also involves your emotions in the process, which provides added power.

Copy pasting is indeed a very powerful process. You’re copy pasting behaviors, reactions, attitudes, and processes. During your day, many parts of what you’re doing or you’re reacting to are based on a copy paste process. That’s where fear is processed, and in turn where “fight or flight” reactions are generated.
