Today was a challenging day. I knew I had to get a lot done. I accomplished all that I set out to do. It is funny when I create a list and achieve all on my list, and then some more ideas pop into my head.
If I don’t write it down, it will be gone soon. I wish I had a back up for my brain. Accomplishing more is really about intention and focus. When I read a good book, I underline the passages and take notes. It does not matter what I read if I don’t apply it.
I have to be intentional about what I want to do with the information I obtain. There is a funny skit from Kids In The Hall, about getting everything accomplished on your list no matter what. A man in the skit goes to the bank and is kidnapped by the bank robbers. He convinces them to take him on the rest of errands that are on his list. He was definitely determined.
One item on my list to accomplish today was creating this blog. If I don’t create something that is valuable, you may not get anything out of this blog. I take it very seriously. It has to be good content. It is difficult to create something after a long day. However, I looked at my list that helps me remember the promises, I made to my self.
Getting something done that is meaningful is wonderful. Remembering to do it is remarkable. If you do the important tasks every day, you don’t need a backup. Being consistent and determined can help you achieve what you want. All you have to do is remember why you want to accomplish your goals. If you take the time to pause and reset, you will have the clarity to achieve anything you put your mind to.
At the end of every week, I plan out my week ahead of time. This entire month is packed with all kinds of activities. There is no backup for being a parent to your kids and spouse to your significant other.
