> Life is about strategy, the long haul, not tactics. Life is about both. Strategy and tactics. Words and action. For some people, if they make a bunch of grand strategic plans but don't follow through, then they repeatedly disappoint those around them. They find themselves lonely and stressed as they lose jobs and relationships with people who are sick and tired of them "making excuses". > is lack of organization bordering on OCD really the thing holding you back?

Well, when something becomes a course, it is no longer about the author, it is about the people the author offers the course to. I don't want to discourage people from trying new things and developing their own systems, courses, whatever. I do feel the need to point out that we live in an age of immense amounts of information and one needs to be very careful not to engage in information pollution. If there is a system similar to yours, there is no need to create your own that you think is slightly better. We really don't need another flavor of candy, at some point we need less 'stuff' and less people engaging in trying to sell us something, not more. I think we've been at that point for a few decades.
