We all have a To-Do List, I don’t know about yours but mine is usually pretty long. I have recently been advised that maybe we should only have 3 things on our list each day and we should be able to achieve these, no problem! At the end of that you should be happy that you have achieved those 3 things.
I always seem to have more than 3 things for my list. With starting a new business and family I certainly have enough going on each day that it flies by.
This got me to thinking, what would make me go to sleep easier each night. Worrying about all the things I have to do tomorrow, next week, next month? No, I would be better off to reflect on what I have done today and so I have decided to create an ACHIEVEMENTS LIST.
Each night I am going to write down my 3 biggest achievements of the day. They don’t have to be earth shattering, just things that you have done to show you filled your day in lots of ways. I was thinking to use the following types of achievement so that I make sure I have balance and am not focusing on one area alone. 1 Business related, 2. People related, 3 Activity related. This is not steadfast, maybe you could think about three categories that suit your lifestyle.
So here is my list from yesterday to get you started.
1. Learned how to create Opt-in forms for my website
2. Attended the opening of a new local business to show community support.
3. Went for a great walk with the dog to the duckpond for some exercise.
It is pretty simple and you know what… I had a great day!
