I really resonate with your story about lego building and doing the dishes quickly to get back to the real exciting stuff. We do waste a lot of energy on the small things and then wonder why so little time, so little results.... You are making excellent points there, Blair.

We do waste a lot of energy on the small things and then wonder why so little time, so little results….

I think its great to get thinks down onto paper and this works for me brilliantly as it is not left swimming in my head. However, the very act of label it a "to do" list often can create stress in its self. How? The realm that "to do" sits in simply reminds us of things we HAVE TO DO. This is restricting as we have no freedom within this context. One thing that has become popular over the last few years with peak performance coaches is the subject of R.P.M. (Results focused, Purpose driven, Massive action.) We are all busy busy busy in life and yet we don't get the results we want. So here it is....Find out the result you want from any situation, then figure out your why or purpose for doing it, and then apply massive action to it. Of course people say that why apply this to dishes or vacuuming. My thoughts are DON'T. They are not important in life, I have found that the more I focus on my goals and dreams and moving towards them, then the little things become less energy intensive. A good example for myself was when I was a kid building Lego toys, I became so immersed in it that when I was told to do the dishes I was quick to get them done and move back into my project. Too many people have little problems in life made out to look big. If we can learn to create enormous problems (challenges) with a focused why and the daily action taking place then who wants to focus their energy on such little excuses for not being able to live a big life.

Never have one! Just take life as it is.Maybe that's why I had missed quite a lot of 'need to do' things. List? Never have one!
