Inch by inch
We are about to create a healthy checklist. Before we begin constructing a checklist, keep this in mind. I built a checklist to give myself the life I wanted to live.
I want this for you, too. I want you to live the life you want to live.
I truly believe goals combined with checklists will help you achieve the life you want to live.
Naturally, I cannot promise success. I do not know your situation.
I can, however, promise this. A checklist will keep you consistent.
When I was a kid, there was a popular saying. Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard.
Perhaps you feel you can speed things up by making massive sweeping changes in your life.
The truth is, such action is almost always counterproductive.
Wide-sweeping changes tend to exhaust you. Remember, yard by yard, life is hard.
Do not completely change your diet overnight, for example.
Instead, start by eliminating something. Eliminate soda. Replace it with water. If you miss soda too much, try seltzer water.
Take baby steps. Inch by inch, life’s a cinch.
This also applies to exercise. Don’t go to the gym and attempt to smash all of the records. You will hurt yourself.
Instead, start small. Start with something you can manage. If you haven’t exercised in years, start taking a walk every day.
Yard by yard, life is hard. Inch by inch, life’s a cinch.

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week. It’s just something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier. If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email. You will also get a free copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else). Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/
If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7. I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg. If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful. To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/
If you want a more professionally filmed experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.
Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up! Warning. Word Up! is a bit wacky. You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.
By the way, some of the links in this post are affiliate links. Not trying to pull a fast one on you. I only promote what I believe in.
