Achieving Your Goals - Part 3: The Busy Busy Busy Book - Rabbi Paysach Krohn

[Music] so let me tell you some beautiful catchphrases about accomplishing goals a goal is a dream with a deadline and that's really what it is a goal is a dream with a deadline you've got to have a deadline because if you don't have a deadline it just goes on and on and on and on I know somebody that's very close to me he's been writing it safer for 23 years I said when do you think you'll publish it well I'm still editing it I'm afraid it's great sounds I'm gonna edit it you know it's ridiculous you gotta make a deadline and the deadline for this book was Hanukkah I knew that two and a half years ago remains lana with's is a genius when it comes to promotions and public relations and he said listen people are in the stores before Hanukkah you got to get this out obviously I have a certain amount of stories so you know we made a two-year plan and we'll talk about how the plan developed but there was a deadline there was a goal a goal is a dream with a deadline and you know what I love this expression as well setting goals gives you long term vision and short term motivation long term vision but short term motivation and you know something you do things in small increments and I'll tell you what I did in order to get this book this book has 98 stories now when you sit down and you begin to think where in the world after eight market books am I gonna get 98 good stories it's impossible it's just impossible it's so overwhelming so the way to do it is in the small things you make a schedule another thing you want to get it out and hanukkah let's say it's 24 months from now so you divide let's say 100 you know by 24 how many months there are how many stories you gotta get let's say 500 a week 505 a month and you make a schedule and when you make a schedule all I gotta do is get five all I get it good it's one story one in the half stories a week that's not so bad how many 98 on your stories it's overwhelming but you make a small goal and then you write it down so that when you get that story what I did was I wrote down from 100 down to one down each one and then you see the progress now I want to tell you something I know that's only women here and you're not gonna learn Gomorrah but I just want to tell you something interesting that I did over the years I don't have the greatest brain by far and I certainly don't have the greatest memory what's your first name Goldie but I don't have the greatest memory and I know that in order for me to remember physical more I have to learn it many times so my goal was look I shall I can't just tell you this I'm gonna try to learn every block the shots ten times and I'm just gonna mic a mark on the bottom of the Duff you know you know how you do the one two three four then five you know to slash or whatever and if after ten times I don't remember okay listen that's the brain you gave me but I'm gonna try to do it so every time I learn a block of Gemara Namit and make a mark and I you know there's something I've looked ten times nine times seven times whatever and then this was years ago and then what happened was aa scroll is thoughts ago if I could write a book on Bruce Miller and when I decided that I would write it I was before I actually sat down to write it together with my mother so I said throw up Dawood Cohen I said I'm done with you know I realized there's no way we're gonna be able to learn and have all these pseudonymous I'm gonna stop writing so he gave me this that's why I gotta have a Rebbe he gave you something that could never forget that I will never ever be able to stop being grateful for he said listen to me he said what is more important I read ahead but Terry the Robin if you're learning by yourself or you learning with the hub rusa and you're accomplishing fine you'll be able to walk off how many times you learned every doubt that's very odd you write a good safer that's Terry the rabbit it's a much much bigger source than your own personal learning okay so I gave up a lot of the system that I had unlearning but I wrote the book on bismillah and that was the beginning of writing the market books or whatever so poor Hashem I mean I did say it's it's obvious that turnit the Robin is greater than turd the off it but that's when you have a ready when you have a Rebbe who guides you and then you make small and I'll show you something that I did Oh big believer enlists a very big believer list now my only problem is that have so many papers that I can't even find build all these papers I'm like all of us right and every single pocket and every Union you know then then they come to probably come back from the cleaners oh my gosh that's where it was right so I decided I'm gonna make my own spiral and what I did was I designed a page and you know this is grist matters other manners and calls or whatever and I went to Staples and I said do me a favor make me 60 copies of this page and put it in a book now every day I try to rip off the page that I did and then at the end of the month I go to Staples and I say okay make me 30 more pages then I put it in this book and on the book which is called my busy busy busy book my own busy busy busy okay just the three beats now watch this on here this is my goal this is my mantra three days accomplish achieve a tank now I've had this one did I stop this hope in November 26 2013 so I've had this book now for more than three years and this is where everything is now when I finish doing something that I have to do every about the page and then at the end of the month I go to Staples and I put in other pages sometimes they don't finish so they if I don't you know I can't rip out the page and there's still many craters that are not worked out but the point is when you write it down you see it in front of you and if you write it in a big book you're not gonna lose it this is hard to put in your pocket right cos to show me you shouldn't leave it on a trainer or playing on a car now we know worst the only thing worse than that is leaving your cell phone on a plane but but that's what this idea is about write it down and small goals and when you write down small things then wonderful things can happen and you feel that you're accomplishing and that's really what you want to do
