Do you know…
How many times a person re-writes their To-do list?
Do you know how many times people rewrite their To-Do list in a day?
I’m not sure, but it must be a lot! Each day, people roll over all the tasks they haven’t worked into their schedule.
It is like we are purposefully sabotaging our lives!
The endless list: Are we all overbooked? Are we all frozen with indecision or distracted dealing with the merry-go-round-of-life?
Feng shui is all about getting organized and taking control of your life.
Here is one great tip for you to see some progress in your day: Re-write your To-do list! (AGAIN!)
You read this correctly: The best way to get moving on your To-Do list is to apply action verbs.
Action verbs can be more specific in telling you exactly what to do!
Instead of writing a list that looks like this:
- Copies for meeting
- Tickets for Friday night
- Work on ad promo
- Note to VP
- Contact for TED talk
- Work out
Try using an action verb, and be more specific:
- Print copies for meeting at 1pm
- Buy tickets on line for Friday
- Work (is an action verb, but break it down) on ad promo a) review promo to date b) propose a plan c) delegate/recruit help if needed.
- Send e-mail to VP regarding _________.
- Inquire with HR how to sign up for TED talk
- Go to gym after work
By making your To-do list a little more detailed, you will be able to envision the tasks actually being completed.
Go for the Action Verb, and free yourself of the To-do list! Have a great weekend!
