I love lists. And I cannot lie. And I’ll even share a list of reasons why.
How’s that for some righteous rhyming?
A couple of years ago I shared what I heard a DeeJay say about her lists. She said she has a “lust for them.” Sounds pretty serious. Right? Yeah, she sets up a song playlist, every day, based on a certain theme, or topic, or current events. And I love how that connects her shows and helps make them more interesting.
And since I love lists, too, I started thinking about how they help.
When you have a goal, in your business or personal life, there’s just something about being able to check off items from a list. In fact, I’ve noticed how much more energized and motivated I get as I check off more from the list. And here are some of the other ways a list can help.
- You can think of all of the steps you’ll need to take to achieve your main goal.
- Then, you can write them down and get ’em out of your head.
- After that, you can arrange them in order of importance.
- Then, you can double check your written list to be sure you haven’t forgotten any steps.
- Finally, you can start doing them in order so you can check them off.
See what I did there?
A simple list. And all I did was put the steps in order for making a list. And a list can be like a tiny motivator. Because it keeps you on track. And it gives you the immediate reward of the checkmark. Think of that as silent, but positive reinforcement. With every checkmark you’re getting closer to what you want.
And when you’re ready to leverage your list skills exponentially, then consider getting my RondaReady System. Because it has so many tools and strategies to help you go way beyond just checking off your to-do list.
The RondaReady System is only for serious business owners and entrepreneurs who want to stop flying by the seat of their pants. So, it’s a substantial investment. If you’re not quite ready for that, start with RondaReady UNversity. It’s a monthly how-to class on the very things I teach my one-on-one clients. For a fraction of the cost of the full System. This month’s class, on Automation, is today, and you’re too late to enroll. But you can click or tap that link below and be in time for next month’s class.
Stay Ready,
Ronda
