Greeting people! Over the past few months I have actually began to delve into deeper meaning, thinking outside the box, and overall becoming who I want to be. Meditate- Their are countless benefits that come from meditation. Increased attention span, cleared mind, relaxation, and also silence from the waves of thoughts perpetually crashing into my mind. Under 5 miles? No Vehicles- Over that past week, I have had a broken bike and no car, forcing me to walk everywhere I desire to go. Walking just seems like a calming experience, especially in the morning. In the morning the fog rubs against your face, the sound of cars are almost non-existent, and you are in complete solitude. No Complaining- By doing this, I hope to become less of a whiner, but more of a thinker. Instead of complaining first, I want to be able to think of possible solutions first. Also, this will teach acceptance. Dream Journal/Lucid Dreaming- By using a dream journal, I would be able to remember my dreams more often, learning what they have to offer. Also, a benefit of a dream journal is that by doing this, it is easier to achieve a state of lucid dreaming. This is probably the goal I am most excited to complete. Draw a Creative Picture EVERY DAY- I cannot draw to save my life. I want to be able to channel my thoughts through paper. I want to be able to look at my drawing and not think “wtf did I just draw?” This would also help to get the creative mojo going. None of the pictures can be similar. Unfortunately, I cannot come up with 14 more at the moment. What do you think should be added on to the list? Any feedback would be awesome. Thanks :) |

This is awesome! I have a friend of mine who I know is going to be one of the most successful people I meet in my lifetime. He does this every day. On an average day, he completes about 15-16. I recently spoke with him about changing his system. In the book “18 MINUTES: Find your focus, master distraction, and get the right things done” by Peter Bergman (highly recommend) he mentions a “6-Box To-Do list”: “Identify up to five things — no more — that you want to focus on for the year and write one at the top of each box on the page. Then, generate your daily to-do’s in those boxes.You should spend 95% of your time in those areas; take anything that doesn’t fit into one of those areas of annual focus and get it off your to-do list.The 6th box labeled “the other 5%” is like sugar — a little might be OK but your day should never contain more than 5% of the activities that don’t fit into your five areas of annual focus.” Downloadable sheet: http://peterbregman.com/new-site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/6boxestodolist.pdf You may even implement both! Be warned that this task is one that is very daunting. You never know what will happen tomorrow and if all your plans to do these habits will be available. I do the daily goal system because it keeps my life simple. It’s far easier to focus on 4-6 things than 20. |
