My To Do List


Kirt and I were recently in WA taking a couple of days to travel to Margaret River in a Wicked Camper Van…  an awesome way to roll.  There's something magical about going on a road trip together.  We used to have an old Kombi when we were at Uni and the holiday trips up and down the East Coast are some of our most wonderful memories.

Anyway, taking advantage of the free time we discussed life direction, hopes and frustrations and actually made up a to do list.  These lists are very powerful (in my experience).  Its the writing of them that does something.  I think it helps to clarify the objective.  Additional planning may be required but in many cases the initial list will do.  Have you ever made a list or a plan and then forgotten about it only to find (when you stumble across the list again) that you've actually achieved or made significant progress towards doing the things in the plan/list?  I have and I've seen many of my clients experience the same thing.  Key Message.  Make a List.

Here's ours:
   Wall stencils
   Hang tv on wall
   Sell stereo
   Sort out AV equipment
   Wall mount speakers
   2 PAC /paint box
   Artwork for walls
   Sell bongos
   Sell polar HRM
   Sell Mercedes
   Price Kombi's
   Paint window sills
   Extra payment on mortgage
   Ski savings account
   Read happy books and other research for "Would You Like Happy With That?' workshop
   Learn: u-tube editing / Pod casts / Mac book
   Build commuter bike
   Try cross fit
   Find spin class
   Recover outside sofa with black covers
   New cushions for outside
   Subscribe to home decorating magazines
   Kirt redo budget

The intention behind this list was activities/things that would support our investment strategy.  We've realised we need to stay where we are currently living for another few years in order to be able to move to where we'd ultimately like to live.  We wanted to simplify our life and make home a little nicer to live in.

I reckon we'll knock this list over by early to Mid Jan.  Some stuff has already happened.

Over to you now.  Why don't you take five minutes right now and write your list.  What are you going to do?

Till next time,

Be Happy.

ps.  Thanks for the advice, guidance and support you've offered me thus far.
