A daily to-do list is one habit that has contributed a lot in my life. It is so important, that it forces me to do something productive each day. If you have a list of things to do then you can prioritise them. It’s amazing how it allows you to ACT even when you don’t feel like it. It serves as one of my support systems that I have created to keep me going. The complex your life becomes the more you need it. I usually plan my week on Sundays. This year, I have been very strict in how I attend personal coffee meetings. I have limited those meetings drastically and made sure I do meetings twice or three times a week. The rest of the days I focus on the business admin, resting and family. I never thought resting is also important, it recharges you, it limits anxiety and unnecessary stress. A to- do- list serves as your daily GPRS. It allows you to say NO to things that are not in line with or part of your daily plans. If you don’t have a list, you end up doing what comes your way and that can waste your time and energy. My free days – I take myself out for a drink, invite a friend over for a chat, dedicate it to buy home consumables (cutlery like teaspoons that has a way of disappearing and replacing kitchen worn- out stuff like dish clothes etc), read a book , try new make-up products, facials , call my kids teachers for a progress chat, sleep or just be a full time house wife. I do one thing on that day that celebrates me not business. There is no feeling that can be compared with knowing that you have achieve your daily goals. One thing that I was not good at this year was punctuality (Time management), even if I made it to the place on time but I would be under so much pressure. I’m planning to improve on that next year. The area that has improved drastically is my telephone bill. The time I spend on the phone is reasonable. I’m hardly on the phone , I preferred emails. A to- do list has worked for me, I don’t know how I can survive without one. It has become my way of life. I hope this piece will inspire you to try the TO-DO –LIST in 2015. Happy Tuesday! Mrs B
