Getting things done!

"A great life is not a matter of chance but a matter of consistently making great choices."

This is an incredible mantra. I just had to copy and paste this quote from someone I admire on a personal and professional level. I have mentioned in previous posts that every lifestyle is a choice. We are where we are today because of the spiritual, personal and professional choices we have made. Are you happy with where you’re at? Are you proud of the choices you’ve made? Are you choosing to make the most of every opportunity you’re blessed with?

Mary Kay’s legendary “getting things done” method is simple and quite practical. At the beginning of each day, make time to list out the top 6 most important things you MUST get done. This way, the day ahead shouldn’t overwhelm you when you’ve prioritized things that you cannot creatively avoid. Think of the satisfaction gained when the business day has yet to end, but you’ve already accomplished necessary assignments no matter how major or tedious they may have seemed.

In the words of Mark Twain, we must all remember, “There is nothing that cannot happen today." But it’s up to you to make that choice and make the most of your day. Choose to get ‘er done, folks! Get ‘er done!
