Write It Down

For years now we have a system in our house whereby if you need a specific food item you write it down on “the list”. The list is a piece of paper that fits in a simple plastic paper holder that has a magnet attached to its back.   

Nothing fancy. 

But oh so effective. 

Whoever goes to the store has a list already created. Nobody needs to try to remember what it was we ran out of two days ago.  

I have adopted the same system for running my office. I have an on-going list of things I need to do. I can prioritize the list each day. I can check off the things I accomplish and feel really good about watching all those checkmarks.  

For me – using paper and pen works. There is something about writing it down that helps me remember that it needs to be done. I’ve tried using technology to do this, and while it worked, there wasn’t the same satisfaction as being able to check everything off the list and throwing it away. No matter what your actual modality is, seeing the jobs written on paper and being able to prioritize them provides you with daily goals that can spur you into action today!  

I've created my business around pracical ideas like this that actually work.

So write it down - then check off the list of goals you have set out for yourself.

 

Turn an ordinary day into a successful one.
