CONCLUSION

This exercise is very difficult. Few people ever go through anything like it. I never did. But what I did do wasto set lifetime goal at age 18. I decided to investigate what the Bible says about economics. I workedintermittently on this project for over a decade, writing a book on it at age 31, Introduction to ChristianEconomics (1973). I began writing a monthly column on this topic that year. I increased this to 10 hours aweek, 50 weeks a year, in 1977, at age 35, to continue to age 70. I have stuck to this schedule. So far, Ihave written 12 volumes, and I am finishing volume 13, plus I have written another half a dozen volumes asappendixes. I used a weekly time input as my self-disciplining device.

My books served as substitutes for self-evaluation sheets. Instead of writing down my successes andfailures on individual sheets of paper, I published books: lots of pieces of paper. They are all available freeof charge on-line:
