Don't Set Resolutions - Set Goals

Goals are more quantifiable, measurable.   When you set a "resolution" do you stick to it?  No.  Because you cannot measure it.

This past May, I started using www.toodledo.com.  I learned about this online task list at the NAPO 2010 Conference.  It allows me to set goals - and check them regularly to see if I am on track.  I'm happy to say that the goals I set for myself and for my business in the beginning of 2010, I have met.  I think this program should get some of the credit.

I can also schedule my to-do's which I use to plan my goals.  www.toodledo.com will tell me what's overdue, due the next day and I can even look forward 7-10 days.

I can schedule a to-do from my phone, which is great when a task pop's into my head when I'm no where near a computer.

I can access www.toodledo.com from any computer.

So, set your goals, plan the tasks that will get you there and look forward to what you will accomplish in the new year!

You know what? The moment I embraced who I was becoming, is the moment that everythi

Can you see your future?

I was coaching my client, Carolyn today.   She was stuck in a mindset of only seeing her present circumstances or even worse - the past.  She wasn't seeing her future .  Turns out, she never thought about it.   I asked her - W hat it would mean for your life once the paper piles are gone?  What it would mean for your life once the necessary repairs were made to the kitchen and bathroom?  What it would mean for your life once the dread, shame and weight off your shoulders was lifted?  She kept going back to how her home looked right now and the struggles she was faced.  She wasn't seeing her future.  But I was.  Carolyn is so close to having her home decluttered.  But she was still living in the past. I told her that I had a challenge for her.  I asked Carolyn if she would close her eyes and visualize what her home will look like when it is decluttered, when she can find what she needs and when the overwhelming tension has been lifted from her shoulders.  I heard a deep
