Hello!
I am writing this blog to illustrate how easy it is to get started on a task. This goes out to a client of mine that I saw yesterday that has been putting off starting a blog for weeks!
When you are putting something off, chances are you are making if far more difficult in your head than it the task will actually be...the bummer is...
Your brain doesn't know the difference between thinking about doing something or actually doing something...if you don't believe me, fantasize about eating a juicy lemon, really visualize it, and feel yourself start to salivate and pucker up!
So, by the time you actually sit down to do what you've been putting off, it feels like you've been doing it for hours, days or weeks already!
Just start by doing something...anything toward your goal. Sometimes that means simply writing some ideas down, making a phone call, finding a pen!
Remember, because motivation always comes after action, that little push will get you moving.
How long did it take me write this blog? About 3 or 4 minutes.
Whoohoooo!
You can do it!!!!
Peace,
Cheri

Managing Your "To Do" Lists
Hello, busy people!
Here are a few tips on how to keep your "To Do" lists working for you and helping you get it all done!
I'm a big fan of "To Do" lists. The point is to get whatever is rolling around in your head on paper so you can stop thinking (and stressing!) about it. This is a HUGE stress reducer.
First, if you can do whatever it is that you are about to put on your list in 3 minutes or less...do it right then and there! You'll be amazed how productive you can be with this practice.
Second, feel free to leave little pads of paper all around you so you don't have to search for something to write on or forget before the next time you have paper. Put a pad next to the bed, in the car, by your toothbrush, next to the shower...anywhere that you seem to think or have new ideas...
Third, don't let the multiple "To Do" list idea stress you out! It's to help you out! You can always consolidate them at the end of the day or week or whatever.
Remember, the goal is to have somewhere to put it besides your brain!
You can do it!
You ROCK!

Cheri
