Daily Checklists for Lifelong Goals
13 days ago
Ten things I want to do every day, written as single word verbs (one of them is two words, forgive me) to keep them as actionable as possible. They came out to the following: Read, Write, Work, Relax, Love, Befriend, Eat Well, Exercise, Simplify, and Benefit. Every day I can take some small step to move these forward. The key is to ensure I can accomplish each of these every day without spending too much of my day worried about it.
