115. Win the Day : Create a To-Do List of Tasks & Stay Accountable to Crossing Them off Daily

Have you had days where you felt like you accomplished nothing? Do you stress thinking about the future, where you want to be & the work it’ll take to get there? Are you anxious to get to the finish line aka reach your dreams or goals and neglect enjoying the process of the day to day grind because of it?

Today I want to talk about the importance of focusing on winning the day in front of us. When I stopped wasting energy thinking about the future constantly, I was able to enjoy the day to day process and find gratitude in it. By creating a daily to-do list of items to complete, I am able to focus on what I can control today which helps me win my day.

 

Three principles to winning your day :

• (1) Creating Your List allows you to be accountable on what you can accomplish in the day ahead. By doing that, we spend less time thinking about the future and instead focus on the present moment.
• (2) Make adjustments in your list when necessary. Priorities will change on a daily basis and we need to readjust accordingly.
• (3) Be realistic in expectations for the day ahead and set yourself up for success. There is only so much you can do within 24hrs, don’t create a to-do list that is impossible to accomplish.

 

Challenge for the listeners

• Take 10 minutes sometime in the next 24hrs to create your list. Start with a few items and when you’re ready, add to it.
• See how this changes your focus from the big picture of where you want to go and instead focuses on what’s in front of you today.
• Give the list a try and hit my DM letting me know how it’s helped you!
