Here we go..

Lets talk To DO

So they say that writing (or in this case typing) is therapeutic and so here I am!

To start my own blog was on my list of things to do today (actually yesterday but who's keeping track, oh me thats right!). 

Speaking of lists, I have been reading in my latest personal development book Eat That Frog! by Brian Tracy.(My goal this year is to read two personal development books a month, so far I've finished one YAY me!) He writes on how making tangible To-Do lists can be so beneficial in our own personal successes.

Think about it! We have so much to do on a daily basis, but how many of those things do we REALLY finish? If you're like me (a horse, as in Chinese Astrology, i'll talk about this later for sure) you tend to start things without finishing them. I've found that having an actual LIST to carry around with me and a pencil to actively CHECK OFF the item once I've finished makes me feel so EMPOWERED and ACCOMPLISHED.

Remember the mom in the HOME ALONE movie? She had a check list of everything she needed to get done before leaving on their trip. She woke up late and still managed to get her family to the airport on time. (yeah yeah yeah she left her kid I know, but sometimes you gotta delegate tasks to someone TRUSTWORTHY. Her bad!) But the point is she got it all done! 

I went to the store this weekend and bought myself index cards attached by a spiral. Everyday I mark the date and a list of things to do. Each time I finish something I physically mark it off, and POOF! It's gone, outta my life and finished FOREVER!

And yes, I add to the list and look over items that I don't think are as important. Guess what happens to the less important items? They get moved to the next day! 

So I've done it! Wrote my first post in my first blog. I've just checked off my to-do list.Feeling ACCOMPLISHED :)
