Should Dos vs. Could Dos
In a busy world, it’s easy to become consumed with countless “could dos”, and miss the all important “should does”.
More than just a linguistic sleight of hand - the Should Dos stack up under an entirely different column - a Success List vs. a To-Do List. In practical terms, does this mean keeping two different lists? We would argue YES! And which list should you start working every morning? Hopefully the answer is clear!
Almost everyone does a million and one things each day, but not everyone is successful. A moments reflection tells you that the people who are successful must be working off of a different list. The Success List.
The amazing thing about creating your Success List is how easily you can pick out the Should Dos from you list with hardly any practice at all. We already know what to do. We just need to marshal our attention and energy on the things that matter most, day after day.
Try working on your Success List today instead of slogging away on your To-Do List and feel the progress that starts to build with unstoppable momentum. Your ONE thing will start accelerating towards you at incredible speed! Don’t just aimlessly make lists - make the lists that matter!
