She was a walking to-do list (who didn’t have time)

Let’s talk to-do lists... I don’t mean which app is the best, or daily vs. weekly, or how many items it should have… Zoom out with me for a minute and ask yourself this instead: How often do you feel like you actually finish yours? I’m not talking about checking off every last item you assigned yourself for the day or week. I’m talking about reaching the end of the day without that nagging feeling in the back of your mind that something else needs to get done. It’s the feeling of being a “walking to-do list,” as Alexandra Immel (one of our [Focus Course Live]( alums) described it. Always trying to fit one more thing into your schedule… Always trying to get more things done… Always going — instead of giving yourself time to rest, recharge, and simply be. Achievement-oriented people are highly susceptible to random acts of productivity. In fact, we can even feel guilty at times if our actions aren’t serving tasks on our never-ending mental to-do lists. It’s an exhausting way of living that eventually catches up with all of us, no matter how determined we are to just keep powering through. Fortunately, there is a way out. And it comes down to just 4 simple ingredients: - Vision: You have to be crystal clear on the short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes you desire for your life. This gives you direction and infuses your days with purpose. - Strategy: You need to identify the specific steps that will move you toward those outcomes. This gives you a plan. - Habits: You need routines and techniques that help you consistently follow through on that plan. These give you focus. - Margin: Finally, you need the actual time in your schedule to put everything above into action (while also making space for rest). This gives you breathing room. Not-so-coincidentally, those are the exact 4 themes of each week in [Focus Course Live.]( Each Monday, we meet live online for a coaching session on the week’s theme. You walk away equipped with implementation exercises that ensure you follow through. Along the way, you have access to your fellow [Focus Course Live]( members — and my team — for feedback, support, and (best of all) accountability. It’s the most effective format we’ve ever used for helping people get results.
