I’m a fellow Trailblazer and just posted a reply in the forums, but I thought to also share some insight here (after doing the exercise). I combined it with my mindmap exercise that I shared on my Phoenix Zen blog, and it’s really helpful. I did get a bit confused with THINK vs. SAY though… when I did it, I ended up writing all of the self-talk and doubts in the THINK portion. I guess think, for me, is more of an inner thing and say is what I tell others regarding my goal(s). I like your distinction better but am still a bit in the dark on how to fine tune it with my goals.

Some things to also think about is whether what we think, say, and do are aligned with empowering talk. I found after doing this exercise that I was focusing a lot on disempowering thoughts, even though I was actively trying to complete those goals. That’s probably why I’ve been having slight difficulty staying focused and with procrastinating– I have to make sure my inner talk aligns with my goals, to increase motivation and energy/power behind committing to them.

Thanks for sharing a simple strategy for identifying distractions and increasing focus. 🙂
