June is here, and school is in the downhill slide (with a few roadblocks along the way, but we should make it unscathed). That means it's time for my summer-time list of items that I ignore most of the school year, and have to get completed before the whole school year creeps up on me again. Overwhelming? A bit, but breaking it up into chunks and checklists actually helps me stay on top of them, accountable, and less risk of forgetting (which is happening more and more... and I definitely rely on my calendar and post-it notes!).
So this year, the list comes back out to get all the craziness out of my head and onto (electronic) paper. I still have the sticky notes in my office, but since I'm actually spending LESS time there, and more out and about, this electronic version may be more appropriate this year. Time will tell.
Last summer, my strategy of a TOP 5 list worked quite well. It kept be on track and gave me a target. Sometimes, it was less than 5, sometimes more, but it was a starting point, and I was able to make progress. You can read my FIRST and LAST posts from last year here and here.
This year, I'm attempting what appears to be MUCH more. It seems overwhelming, daunting, crazy; but that's my style. Bite off more than I can chew to give me a lot to feel good about at the end. (Who ever finishes their list anyway?) I plan on rewarding myself along the way... and several of these are setting myself up for fall success in both school and business, so it's worth it.
Three months, and MUCH on my list. Let's get this party started!
