Tip of the Week : Check up on yourself!
Monday, August 3, 2009 at 12:00PM
Did you make a list at the beginning of the summer of things you wanted to get done? Pull it out, or fire up those brain cells again, and see if there’s anything on it that’s truly important that you’ll regret not doing.
Look good? Happy with where things are at? Then tear up the list :). Winging it is great, especially when the days are long.
Have something you really DO want to get done? Figure out a plan, and get it started!
Lists are meant to help, not hinder. If they’re depressing, make them short and realistic. If they’re inspiring and motivating, put them out where you can’t miss them. Whatever you do, don’t miss a chance, any chance, to cross something off, even if you’ve just decided not to do it.
Happy summer listing!
Note to self: Schedule Governors Island and Sony Wondertime Lab NOW!

Wow, I think that's a really powerful suggestion.
Putting something on a to-do-list, and then deciding "No, I don't really want to do this!" It may sound like a weird idea, but it's actually excellent advice.
Making it a positive choice NOT to do something is a very liberating act.
How about making a "stop-doing-list"?
I think I'll integrate that into my coaching toolbox.
