Too often I find myself going through the following cycle:

1. I discover a fault I have or a virtue that I want to acquire in my life.  I make a determination that I will improve on it.
2. Two days later I forget about it because I find a different fault I want to remove from my life or a different virtue to acquire.  I make a determination that I will focus on this thing.  Very carefully.  For sure.
3. A few days later I forget about the second thing because I have either remembered that I was going to work on the first thing, or I find a third thing that I want to improve on. Lather, rinse, repeat, to the point of insanity.

Does this happen to you?  What do you do to implement consistent improvements?
