Today's post is the epitome of the Take Action series purpose...

 

"Even if you are on the right track,

you'll get run over if you just sit there."


~ Will Rogers

 

Your action for today is to take one of your "to-do's"

and either do it or remove it from your list.

 

to-do list goals organized day planner calendar

 

While it is definitely empowering to accomplish

your goals, your tasks and to-do lists,

it can be equally empowering to hit stop or even delete 

on recurring goals & tasks that make every list,

 yet never are completed. Ask yourself why?

Consider hitting stop and waiting 3 months to see if that's a better

time to tackle that goal/task. If you still can't start it or finish it,

delete it and realize it was never as important to you

as you credited it; RIP outdated goal or pesky task and ...

Hello Thomas - another favorite quote.  Will Rogers certainly seemed quite insightful.  Not only for his time but of people in general.

What was true in Will's time is still true today, in fact not much is new under the sun, it's more reminding that debuting info at this point. Thanks for your daily pop-bys Michael Jacobs

I really like the idea of doing things on a list or removing them, no need to keep them on the list if you are just going to put off doing them, haha.

I like your take action series. Sometimes it is good to revist what you are doing and why, even if you do acheive it it might not be giving you the return you desire and time might be spent better doing other things.

Brian England it was a tough lesson for me to learn and apply (I was a task hoarder of lists) but my Buffini & Company coach helped me with a breakthrough about 8 years ago.
