If you’re anything like me, Sunday is the day that you get your life together. It’s the meal prep, laundry, cleaning and planning day. The day where you look over your schedule for the week and start to lay out what the week will look like for you. Basically, I try to pull all of my sh*t together in about three hours on Sunday night #relatable
A Sunday night a few weeks ago. I was sitting at my desk and looking down at a long, long to do list. And I was overwhelmed just looking at it, not to mention thinking about actually getting it done. And obviously, I knew the solution to the overwhelm was to prioritize what was most important. BUT. It was late. And I was tired. And frankly, I didn’t want to think that hard.
Luckily, my subconscious sent me a reminder at the moment when I was ready to just call it a night. JUST DO THE THINGS THAT GET YOU TOWARDS YOUR THREE GOALS. Ah yes, those three most important things I promised myself that I would work on in 2020. It was simple thought, but right at that moment it was the perfect nudge I needed to focus.
I went through that huge long list and I starred the things that were directly related to my top three 2020 goals. And those were the first things that I scheduled into my days for the week. If I did nothing else except for those few things this week, it would be a success and I could actually say that I made progress towards making my goals happen.
We’ve all had experiences where we’ve set goals and forgotten them. It’s happened to me many times. The place where we tend to get lost is not in the goal setting but in the goal GETTING. Doing the actual work, the actual things (habits and actions), that will give us traction and make us move forward- that’s the hard part. Because life gets in the way. We’re busy and tired and have a lot to do. And that’s why having goals matter. Because they help you identify the way that you should really be spending your time.
They say that the way you spend your days becomes the way that you spend your life. Use your goals in 2020 to turn your to do list into the life you truly want to be living.
