The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. -Chinese proverb

We are all busy. So many things on our “To-do” lists should have been done yesterday. We cross off one thing and another pops up.

To-do lists are very helpful. They keep us organized. They help spring us into action to achieve goals.

What if we rewrite the “To-do” part? Instead of “To-do” what if we write “To accomplish” or “Goals to Achieve” or “To manifest” or “To kick ass”. Whatever you want to use but you get the point.

When we frame it in a different way, it can really impact our mindset and our motivation. Instead of our list being a weight on our shoulders we broaden to think of the goals we want to achieve. To help motivate and inspire us and even open up to receive help from others.

Maybe something on the list can be accomplished in another way. Maybe someone else can help. As long as the end result is achieved, we can be flexible on the process.

Our lists are not about doing things to stay busy. Our lists are about accomplishing and taking steps to our goals. Being rather than doing.

How do you keep yourself organized and take steps into action?
