I can’t imagine there is a simpler, more continuous service available on the web. People love tinyurl, it turns up everywhere in mails, forums and blog posts. People can use the tinyurl service and combine it any way they want. Tinyurl is anxiety-free.
Continuity is key to long-term success. We all depend on and expect continuity from third-parties for achieving our goals.
Others may expect continuity from you for their success. Do you know who they are? Are you familiar with their expectations? Do you know what success means for them?
How many more people would be willing to listen to you if you would tell them how you provide simple, anxiety-free continuity?
Your personal long-term success is affected by the continuity that you seek and provide to yourself. All those books and blogs that encourage you to envision success want to teach you something about continuity.
When it comes to achieving goals continuity is cumulative. You first get your basics right – like time management – and you build on top of that. After a while you act and feel like a different person.
Continuity makes life meaningful.
