Follow-up sounds simple but is something that most people fail to do. We spend a lot of time and money exploring new ideas and systems to keep us motivated and focused but fail to put what we've learned into practice. Consistent action is more important than the particular system itself and is the key to living the life you want. And it is easy to do once you have direction.
Your to-do list reflects the actions you've committed to. Take a step back from your to-do list and see how it fits into the bigger picture of your life. If you consistently take these actions will you get to where you want to go? Do you know where you want to go? If you have been consistently playing the Follow-Up Friday Game, you will have a list of priorities handy right now. So do you? Can you name your top three priorities? If not, your to-do list may very well be wearing you down.
Your to-do list is like a machine that runs 24/7. It never shuts down. It is you who must take control of your endless list and mold it into actions that move you in the direction you want to go. Stay focused on what you need to do this week to make your life work REALLY well. And remember, you belong on the very top of your to-do list.
