Let’s start with the admission first. I got into blogging after reading some articles on Steve Pavlina’s blog about how to create your own blog. He made it sound fairly simple and so I thought that I would have a go, not knowing what I was letting myself in for. I didn’t have much more intention than to be something of a Pavlina clone, only talking about my own personal methods for getting things done. So I followed his model very closely. One of the first things to do was to come up with a name and here I made a big mistake.

I used a pen name that I had devised some years before. I did this a) because I had no idea what I was letting myself in for and I didn’t know if there would be any unpleasant spill over from my online world into my offline world b) because I thought it was a cool thing to have an alter ego. Or, more precisely a) because at that time I was a coward and b) because cool can often equal dumb.

I didn’t know it at the time but it was a big mistake to make. There has been lot’s of spill over into my offline world but all of it pleasant and so I find going by a pen name more and more irksome - it’s just not me. I have decided to bring that episode to a close. It was a mistake and I apologize for it. I hope that you can accept that it was done out of very poor, naive judgement.

It’s not the end of the journey though. All of the good things that I learned were turned into a book and I have spent much of this year turning the book into a robust system for managing the mind - so that emotional upset is eliminated or easily dealt with - and for getting things done in the most pragmatically effective ways that I have been able to devise.

The result is the Personal Operating System. It’s a set of procedures that allow you to get through your problems systematically and without fuss and bother and lots of wasted time. This system allows you to solve problems and organize yourself for productive action so well that you can create new, productive habits in just 1-day. Hence the name of the new site: http://1dayhabit.com

I’m very proud of the result. After decades of going nowhere and messing up my life, I’ve finally cracked it. I understand how my mind works, how the massive resistance to doing good things is created and how those awful painful emotions are created and hence can be eliminated. I also understand the practicalities of what it truly takes to turn a desire into a reality from initial impulse through to successful completion.

This is not just knowledge, this is a system that makes applying that knowledge as easy as painting by numbers, or following a recipe from a cookery book.

If you’d like to find out more then please visit the About page of the new site. There you can view 6 introductory videos that explain the principles of the Personal Operating System and the 1-Day Habit. The videos explain in greater detail and in an entertaining way the basics covered in the book ‘How To Operate Your Brain Perfectly’ and they expand upon them greatly.

So take a look - you’ll even find out what my real name is….
