Hello

I've recently found this site and to be honest I'm not even sure how I landed here. I know I didn't google personal development but whatever I was searching for at the time has directed me here. Erin, did you have anything to do with this? This is the only PD site I've ever been too. Now that I'm here..... I'm hooked.

I have spent the past few weeks reading quite a few articles, listened to some podcasts, participated in a few forums and now I'm on "brain overload". So much to learn.

I am on day 8 of the 30 days to success using exercise as my main focus and this is working out very well for me. I actually couldn't relax yesterday until my workout was done. It's crazy :-)

My question is how do you choose the areas of PD you want to work on and more importantly stay focused enough to reach your goal? Do you choose one area, reach your goal then you choose another area? Do you have 4 or 5areas you're working on at once and working on them every day?

I did come across a thread earlier on books that some readers found useful and I will look into some of them but if anyone can suggest the first PD book for me to read that would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Lynn
