Overwhelmed with too much to do? Some days are just like
that. But just because you’re feeling pulled a million
different directions doesn't mean you have to abandon your
goals. In fact, doing the simple exercise below will help
you simplify your life, while remaining focused and
purposeful throughout your busy day. So, before you do
anything else, grab a cup of coffee and grab a sheet paper
and do this exercise.
Overwhelmed with too much to do? Some days are just like
that. But just because you’re feeling pulled a million
different directions doesn't mean you have to abandon your
goals. In fact, doing the simple exercise below will help
you simplify your life, while remaining focused and
purposeful throughout your busy day. So, before you do
anything else, grab a cup of coffee and grab a sheet paper
and do this exercise.
Beginning of the week:
1. Draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper,
creating two columns. At the top of one column write
“Personal”, at the top of the other column write “Business”.
2. Now, under each column BRAINSTORM a list of all the
things you want to accomplish within the next week. Include
both WANTS (based on the vision you have for your life) and
NEEDS (your day-to-day obligations and tasks). You now have
a MASTER LIST.
3. Work off this list for one week and then create a new
master list next week. Transfer any remaining items from
this week’s list on to next week’s list, if necessary.
Remember: Your list should not be cast in stone. Remain
flexible and feel free to add to your list as new
opportunities present themselves, etc.
Daily:
4. Each morning, go through your master list and ask
yourself, "What can I do today to feel as though I'm
honoring myself and the vision I have for my life?" AND
“What can I do to make myself feel better about myself and
my life?” Circle those items.
5. Then ask, "What can I do today to feel like I'm taking
care of my day-to-day business (pay bills, run errands,
etc.)?" Put a check mark next to those items.
6. Finally, being realistic, pick three items TOTAL to
focus on for the day. Choose one or two things from the
items you circled and one or two things from the items you
check marked. You now have your FOCUS for the day. By
choosing both circled and check marked items you’re
honoring the life you want to create, as well as your every
day responsibilities.
End of the week:
7. Be proud of yourself for actively creating the life you
want. Don’t be hard on yourself if you didn’t’ get it ALL
done. Chances are, because you started the week with focus
and purpose you got more done than you otherwise would
have. After all, the beginning is always today. Remember to
enjoy the journey!

Affirmation Goal Setting Software
Affirmations have long been recognized as a powerful tool in manifesting desires. That's because the subconscious mind cannot differentiate between actual reality and suggestions. Therefore, it processes suggestions (or affirmations) as being real -- and goes about using its powerful creative ability -- and that of the nervous system -- to actualize those affirmations.
