1. What is a strategy?

A strategy is a plan of action used to achieve a goal. It is the process of identifying and implementing a plan to achieve a desired outcome. A strategy is a set of policies, tactics, and organizational structure that is created to achieve an objective. Strategies are used in various fields, such as business, education, and politics. It is important to know how to strategize in order to manage and improve your performance.

2. What are the different types of strategies?

Strategies are the tools that are used to achieve different goals. There are many different types of strategies, and it is important to know what types of strategies you need to advance your strategic thinking. - Tactics: Tactics are the most basic type of strategy. Tactics are a set of specific, concrete plans that are used to achieve a goal. Tactics are the easiest type of strategy to use because they are clear and specific, but they are also the most limited. - Strategies: Strategies are broad and abstract, but they are still specific enough to be used as tactics. Strategies are used to achieve more than one goal, and they are more flexible than tactics. - Plans: Plans are the most abstract type of strategy. Plans are used to achieve a goal but they are not always related to a specific goal. Plans are not as specific as strategies, but they are still a good way to advance your strategic thinking. - Themes: Themes are the broadest type of strategy. Themes are used to achieve a goal, but they can be applied to multiple goals. Themes are not as specific as strategies or plans, but they are still a good way to advance your strategic thinking.

3. How can you advance your strategic thinking?

The most important thing for anyone who wants to advance their strategic thinking is to be able to recognize strategic thinking. Strategic thinking can be defined as a process that involves analyzing a situation and identifying the key elements of a situation and the best possible course of action to take in order to achieve a goal or a result. It is important to be able to recognize strategic thinking because it is the process that guides many of the decisions and actions that people take in their daily lives. Strategic thinking is a critical process that is needed in any field of work. For example, people in the medical field need to think strategically if they want to provide the best possible care for their patients.

Responsibility

      I am a big advocate about taking responsibility for oneself. Now with that in mind, I believe responsibility is an age related thing. When you are young, it's okay to be irresponsible. Youth is a time for figuring out who you are and where you want to go in life. It is a time of exploration and having fun. As we get older though it is time to put off such childish things and take responsibility for your life. 

     Strategy doesn't work that well if you don't hold yourself responsible. Many people think that responsibility means that you are giving up your freedom, but I contend that it gives you freedom in your life because you take control of your life. There are things in this life that you can not control, but there are things you can. Nobody is going to do your life for you. If you want something done then you are going to have to do it yourself. Your life is your responsibility and no one is going to live it for you.

     One way to start gaining control of things in your life is to stop making excuses.  Having a habit of making excuses is not going to get you anywhere. 

Losing Weight

       I don't know about you but I had a scare by a doctor who said I was overweight. He said I needed to lose weight and I responded in kind by telling him that I tried to lose weight and had failed. I tried to lose weight by riding my bicycle around the neighborhood about once a week on the weekends. Well, this did not work at all. What gave me an idea on how to tackle my weight lose was when the doctor said I needed to practice portion control. This got me thinking that the reason I was still gaining weight was because I kept eating more calories than I needed on a daily basis. In other words, I was over eating, and no amount of exercise was going to make me lose weight.

       This is when I devised a strategy to tackle my weight problem. A lot of people act like losing weight is something that just can not be done. I thought so to until I started counting my calories. A very simple but effective method for losing weight. At least for me anyways. You see all you need is a notebook and a pen. Everyday you need to write down how many calories you take in and limit those calories. You could say that this is just a diet, but I don't see it as such because I still eat whatever I want, just not more than I need. A man needs about 2,500 calories a day to be satisfied and a woman would probably need around 2,000 calories. 

      When you start writing down your calorie intake you start to see just how much you have been over eating. For me, I thought that buying a burrito pack from Taco Bell was just enough for me, but come to find out one burrito is really enough for a meal because they are loaded with calories. The may seem like a no-brainer , but to someone who keeps putting on the calories it puts thing into prospective to just exactly what you need for a day and sheds light into just how you have been eating too much.   

      This method is slow, you will lose between 1 to 5 pounds every week depending on where you're at on your weight lose journey. In the beginning I lost about 4 pounds every week. Then I lost about a pound before I shrunk my calories intake by 50 and I started losing about 4 pounds every week again. I hope this helps someone out there start their weigh lose journey. I know some people say it hard to lose weight but I found by doing it this way it is very easy for me. I started out at 340 pounds and I am now at 286 pounds and have been doing this since January 25, 2022. 

         So it's been awhile since I wrote anything. I have been sitting on this thing for years now and I think I might just continue writing things for fun. The theme as always is strategy and everything related to it. I have a tweet that talks about just doing nothing and sitting on something for awhile until you decide what you want to do and if the thing you are doing is really want you want. Part of any good strategy is allowing things to happen. You have a plan and you put some thought behind what you want to do and what you want to achieve and when you actually start to do what it is you set out to do, you meet some resistance and some challenges you didn't expect to happen. 

                What alot of people don't realize is letting things simmer for a bit is a strategy unto itself. It may take a few days, a couple weeks, three months or even a decade before you are able to finally act on something. (Especially if you are thinking long term) The point is you can always come back to an idea and pick up where you left off. Case in point this here blog that a let sit for a decade and have finally come back to it. I never stopped thinking about different strategies for accomplishing my goals. I just haven't put it into writing. I may post some more or I might take another decade to post again. I don't know, but it's all for fun so there is no pressure!

Follow Through

       The follow through to your strategy is as important as any other step in making a good strategy. Most people will make a strategy and not follow through with it. If you plan something it is always a good idea to get in the habit of following through with what you decide to do. Here is an example, say that you put money aside to go to the movies. You found a new movie coming out that you really want to see. You put aside say $25 and you go to the ticket booth put down $8 for the matinee, leaving you with $17. You really want to use this extra money for buying beer for that night, but you told yourself that you were going to give yourself some extra money to buy a drink and some snacks for the movie. Now what should you do? You saved this money specifically for the movies, snacks and all. You could use this money for beer, but you really gave yourself some extra money to get things in the lobby. I would say with following through you would need to go ahead and buy yourself some concessions. The only way to know if your great idea to go the movies and spend some money getting snacks can only be realize buy following through with it. Now the next time you go to the movies you may decide that this was all a bad idea and go ahead and spend it on beer. The only way to learn is to follow through at least once. Then go from there and formulate another strategy or improve upon the old one.
