January Challenge: Scheduling My To-Do List

My_Scheduled_To-Do_List

Yesterday, I explained the concept of my one month, one challenge approach to this year’s resolutions. In that post, I talked about how inspiring I found my colleague Jullien’s webcast on getting a fresh start to the New Year, and how I was really motivated by what he said around goal stacking. However, another concept that really stuck with me (and formed the basis for my January challenge) is the idea of calendaring your goals. In Jullien’s New Year’s guide, he has a few pages devoted to developing your 2016 bucket list, and identifying what experiences you want to have over the course of …

How I Developed My To-Do List to GSD

As we approach the end of my month of GSD, I wanted to do a post about exactly how I GSD, and what my to-do list system is. I don’t use any super fancy tool (mine is actually a multisheet Excel workbook!) but I’ve refined it over the last few years so it really works for me. I’ve always kept my to-do list on the computer rather than writing it down. Even when I would hand write my to-do list on the plane when I was under 10,000 feet, I would transcribe it to my laptop the second the “double …
