ProfitCenterCoach.com – Day 19 – Three Thing List.
Yesterday. I have no idea what I did or what I got done. Don’t you hate days like that? UGH. It’s like the day just happened. So I was really frustrated by the time we closed.
This morning… I started the same way. I’ve got this wicked summer cold thing going on and my motivation has been zero. OK… quick question, which is worse: cold in the winter or cold in the summer. I’m going with summer… both are lame, but there’s something about putting on an extra sweater and laying under a blanket that just goes “better” with winter!
Guess what… ALL ACCOMPLISHED! And more!
I made the car appointment on my way to buy flowers. The funny thing with the flowers was… all I needed to do was pull up to the flower stand and pay. I didn’t have to plant or grow them. I didn’t even have to load them in my car! They look REALLY nice and I feel great each time I walked by them! yea.
Now… the “stuff” for sale – all I wanted to do was put out life jackets… roll eyes. I got distracted 6 times. SIX! But I finally got them put out on display at about 7:45 tonight. In my defense – the boat that came into the dock that was sinking was a little more important.
Seriously, never a dull moment.
We did get it out before it went down. Whew! But it was a little over whelming as I watched the swim deck go below water and the owner was “kinda” in denial about the urgency of getting his boat to shore.
I did get one more thing done and it wasn’t on my list! – I was able to organize the shelves in our store. Something else that was really bothering me is bothering me NO MORE!
SO there you have it — Everyone needs to use my “Three Thing List” technique. I feel accomplished. I know that I did actually set out to do something AND I DID IT! I now feel good when I walk by our shelves, I feel good when I see the flowers, I’m happy I have my car appointment, and I’ll feel really good when we sell the life jackets.
Give it a shot. Start your day by making your “Three Thing List” then come back and tell me what you did. I mean it can’t be any lamer than “make appointment for car” – right????
