Projects and Investments

It is already November! One more month before December and then it's goodbye 2011.
I had been too busy this year. I have two jobs and numerous projects and investments that occupies most of my time. Obviously, I've been working too hard to earn money. Although for me, it is really not about earning money, it is the challenge of beating inflation.
How do I get to manage all my activities?
I bought a small notebook. In it, I put all that I have to do. Prospects I need to close. Obligations I need to pay and payments I need to collect. I am also very religious in my accounting of my daily expenses.
I've pointed out from my previous entry what my problem really is. It is searching for what drives me. Until now, I am still in search for that very specific reason. In general though, I am sure that my reason should be to do everything for God's glory. That should only be my mindset. Knowing that, I now focus on what keeps me from doing that specific goal.
Again, from my soul searching (which I obviously do a lot), I found out that my main problem is that I don't keep my word. I say many things I don't mean. I usually blurt out words, saying it with conviction and then change my mind about it later. Again this inconsistency had been such a nasty habit. It is the only reason why I still haven't become what I expected myself to be. The only person that hinders me from achieving my goal is myself. And I intend to do something about it. One step at a time.
Second habit I have to change is to stop being judgmental. I am a self proclaimed anti-social. I hate the crowd. But I believe this is not healthy and therefore I should also change that.
Beating inflation has been a game for me. That's what my projects and investments are for. Right now, I have allocated my funds for my various projects and investments. Since it is November and year-end is approaching, investing season for me for this year is already over.
It will be harvesting time from now on and save more funds.
I'd like a big balance in my checking account this year-end. That I believe should be something to look forward to.
