Motivational Monday: What Are You Counting?

I'm one of those people that likes to keep a list of things that need to be done. I used to keep a hard copy list in my planner. I even ranked the importance of each item. "A" was the most important, then "B" and so on. I got great pleasure in checking items off my list.

As we progressed in to the digital age, I began to use an app on my phone to keep my list. I was still able to check things off, however the app I used (and still use) didn't give me the option to prioritize.

Regardless of the method I have used, it all amounts to the same thing...I'm counting the things I do!

 

"Don't count the things you do, do the things that count." -Zig Ziglar

 

I realized that while it's important to get things done, it's not all that important to COUNT them. It's far more important to do things that count. That's why I spend a large part of time in volunteer work. It not only makes a difference in the life of others, it makes a difference in my life.

Very good message today.  We need to keep a list of the things we want to achiever whether they are big or small.

On the other hand - crossing off all those goofy tasks at least shows me that I did do something on days when I feel that I haven't accomplished a thing. 

Today is shaping up to be one of those - lots of phone calls on the must do side that take too long and don't feel like they count at all. Oh well, it's still not noon.

I am definitely the opposite. Fly by the seat of my pants. I envy people who are disciplined enough to make lists, write business plans and stick to them.

I am a planner and get so much more done when I know what must be done and what can wait.

I love to make lists. I get a lot done when I make lists. I love the quote.
