You know I read about him in a Tony Robbins book about 20 years ago. It wasn't until recently that I decided to do my own list. I've some items crossed off but I have to admit that I'm not moving as fast as I'd like to. Off the top of my head I have a few self suggestions for myself.
- Create a Time Constraint
- Make a Backwards List
- Focus on One List Item at a time
1. Create a time constraint:
Obviously this means that by adding an end date to each item I'll be able to focus a little more on that particular item.
2. Make a backwards list
By moving backwards from the target I can come up with a plan. For example in my 'eliminate my debt' item I came up with...
- Recieve receipt for final payment
- Make final debt consolidation payment
- Begin consolidation payments
- Make arrangements with consolidation company
- Research consolidation companies and choose one
- Obtain list of debts
This is a partial list of course but by working up from the bottom I can have a plan. Also by adding time constraints to each of those items I can laser focus my goal.
3. Focus on one item at a time.
This one is obvious. Spreading myself all over my life list defocuses me and I wind up not doing any of them.
These actually have worked for me. I sure would like any other suggestions.
