The Pressure is on!! 101th Article!!

It was bound to happen. Loving to write as I do, my goal of having 100 articles in one year was completed. Now that I've backed myself into a corner, that goal was reached and now the pressure is on! People are writing to find out what my 101st article will be about. "It's anyone's guess," I thought to myself.

I'll start by telling you how I reached my goal in the first place. My system is to make a list and put it on my daily "Goal List." I do not go to bed until I complete what I said to myself that I would get done daily. In effect, I keep my word to myself.

We all have things we need to-do; things that we want to get done. We may strive to complete the tasks written on our list and see we may have crossed everything off our to-do lists, yet it can still feel like we haven't accomplished what we had intended.

My company is dedicated to helping people to fulfilling their dreams and sharing happiness and joy. I ask myself questions such as:

Will this bullet point increase my productivity?

What was my thinking about when I listed this particular bullet point? Is it going to achieve the positive outcomes that I intended? If not, all I will be doing are tasks. The way I see this is that while "to do's" are building blocks, outcomes serve as blueprints.

Lastly, (Thank Goodness!) I make sure I am able to visualize about the final destination in setting the "to-do" list in the first place. Can I see what I wanted to happen as an end result? Can I feel how this point will help in my endeavor of getting important things accomplished.

Whew! I can rest until I think of what article number 102 would look like.
