The New Man Of Action is me – Tristan. I’m a young man looking to achieve. I have the drive and the will to make something of myself. I probably have the smarts too. I like working, I enjoy putting effort into projects, and I’d love to run my own business.
However, I lack focus. I have all sorts of ideas all the time, and lack the organisation, commitment, and time management skills to really push past the early stages It’s taken awhile to realise this too – the moment came when I was talking to my Dad about a new idea I’d had. His comment – “you’ll never follow through with that“. Maybe he was right?
That’s the problem, and it’s time to take action. No more stuffing around, never making dreams realities. Take some risks, take a change, see where it goes.
The New Man Of Action is born. It feels good to start something.
The site will explore organisation techniques, time management, motivation, commitment, willpower, and the darker sides: procrastination, lack of drive, and more. It should be a fun, interesting, and challenging ride.

Action is key. In the past, I was either climbing to the top of the trash heap or trying to hide underneath it. Translation: I must be the best at whatever I do or not do it at all. I would get overwhelmed at the work I knew it took to accomplish simple goals or dreams. So I pretty much never started them.
Then at a point of desperation, I realized I didn’t know crap about life and pretty much started over. Starting one-day-at-a-time and setting small simple goals (only looking ahead about a week at a time). Since then I’ve finished undergrad and am about to finish grad school. One class, one assignment at a time.
