What's Your Bucket List?

In the movie of the same title, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman decide it’s a good thing to make a list of all the things they want to do before they die.

So they put their heads together and come up with their “Top 10 Bucket List.” (As terminal cancer patients, these are the 10 things they want to do before they “kick the bucket).”

In real life we should all have a bucket list. No, not a list about the things we want to do before we die, but a list of accomplishments you would like to achieve in the next 3 months. 90 days out. No more.

It’s that simple. Set up 4 goals. One for your health, One for your business. One for your spirit. And one for your family.

Now if you do this in three (3) month increments, with one goal per month for each category, I promise you will feel more satisfied and more balanced than ever.

I have been doing this now for about 8 months and it is amazing how much I can get done on all fronts and how satisfied I feel at the end of a day.

Now, each of the four “accomplishments” may have a multitude of tasks that need to be implemented, but that’s OK. You will then have a plan for every day you wake up.

So, if you’ve been feeling a little out of balance or less satisfied about you progress than you want, why not try this approach?

Please let me know how you do.
