Monday Motivation :: Get Things Done Today!

I am SO HAPPY that we kicked it up a notch last week – I got a TON of things done and off of my lengthening To Do list, and had a mini moment of brilliance as I figured out a way to get us all working together to help each other out with our collective To Do Wish Lists!

I’m feeling super-motivated to commit to a whole new week of To Do’s, but I’m feeling a little stuffy and my daughter is upstairs complaining of a tummy ache. So I’ll go a little easier on myself today, although you are free to commit up a storm, like Dennis (list) and Nathania (list) did last week (how’d it go, you two?!). I got all of my stuff done except for the video conversion, but that was because I found out I don’t have the right cable to get the video off of my camera and onto my computer.

So what are you going to get done today?

Play along to kick your week off with a chunk missing from your To Do list! Commit to getting some stuff done today, tomorrow, or all week long. Then let us know what will get you motivated to accomplish it all. Usually, I throw down a little bit of leverage – self-imposed consequences if I don’t complete my tasks. You might do the same, or want to find a great reward that will be enough incentive to Get Things Done Today!

Today I will:

1. Create a To Do list for my NEW INTERN (I’m SO proud of myself!!)
2. Organize all of the participants and requests for the To Do I Wish List project
3. Clean out my inbox (243 items PLUS 251 items in my personal mail folder – yikes!)
4. Meditate

By the end of the week I will also:

1. Knock off 8 things from my “Urgently Needs Attention” list
2. Knock off 5 things from my “Important Needs Attention” list
3. Meditate 3 more times

This week, I’m going to try the carrot approach rather than the consequences approach. Usually it isn’t quite so motivating, but it’s nice to change things around a bit! So, if I have all of this stuff done by the time I go to bed Sunday night, I will splurge on new flowers for the back yard garden.

Your turn!
