Motivate Yourself With List Making By Layne Emerson At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Every where you go it seems that people love to make lists. I ran across a newer website the other day that advocates for people to list 101 to do in 1001 days. They want you to create your own website to list your plan - and link it back to their script of course. Its a great idea in theory - I often find that lists tend to motivate me to at least attempt to cross items off of them. However, actually making a list of 101 tasks I'd like to accomplish is overwhelming. So in keeping with the spirit of list making, here are ten things I would like to do in the next 101 days.

1 - Attend my 15 year reunion. The reunion is coming up this fall and I haven't been back to the Military Academy since I graduated. It would be nice to go back and see all my old classmates and discover who is still in the Army.

2 - Learn to cast a fly. I learned to fish in the scouts, no one else in my family even knows how to bait a hook. While we tied flies for a crafting class, we never learned to cast them. Its such an elegant sport.

3 - Attend Tai-Chi classes in the park at least once a month. I find Tai-Chi to be great for stress relief, but my technique needs some work. Attending some sessions with a teacher should help!

4 - Round up some friends for a few games of paintball - since its inception in the 80's, paintball has grown nationally in popularity. We have quite a few new paintball courses in the area that I haven't had the opportunity to play on yet. Definitely a must do.

5 - Volunteer to read for children in the hospital. I get so much out of giving back and volunteerism. The problem is that when life gets busy I often forget to even consider it.

6 - Get the Jeep fixed. I've been putting this one off for some time as I hate finding an honest mechanic and recently moved. But something is causing that shimmy and try as I might, wishing it will get better isn't actually improving the problem.

7 - Discover 5 new ways to increase my productivity. These are the days of doing more with less. The more efficient you can be at doing more, the more free time you wll end up having for the more enjoyable aspects of life.

8 - Have my first pedicure. I seriously can't believe that I've never gotten around to doing this before. Treating yourself is important, and your feel support you everywhere you go. Why not pamper them at least once in a lifetime?

9 - Paint at least one wall in my office a bright color. I've always meant to update the office at home to be more attractive, but like many things I've never gotten a round to it.

10 - Read at least one professional and one "for fun" book a week. I love reading but feel I do too much of it on the internet, so I am breaking out the library card this summer!

So there you have it, my list of ten things to do for the next 101 days. Consider making your own list of goals and hang them in a prominent spot. You may even surprise yourself at what you can do when you take the time to organize and write them down!
