To-Do or Not To-Do

While I see myself as being pretty good at getting the actions I need to perform down on paper, I can be very slack when it comes to checking back regularly to ensure I am staying on track.

Take the to-do list that I filed away somewhere about a fortnight ago, I had not checked back on it until yesterday. *slaps wrist, bad Allison!* .

Of the tasks left to do I have marked the ones in pink that I will accomplish this weekend.

That might not seem like much but I am having the hardest time articulating my vision statement.

To create my vision statement i have written down the beliefs and requirements me as “the business” will be working to in 5 years time. The list I have is

• fun
• innovative
• fulfilling
• intelligent
• quality
• rewarding financially

[several hours pass]

OK here they are

Luckily these are living statements and can be reviewed and changed at any time. But for the moment they are what I am striving for.

Tomorrow I will complete the plan-to-a-page and publish that as well.

None of this is as easy as it looks but it does help focus on what you truly want to get out of your business, rather than creating a rut by keepin the nose to the ground and going round and round in the same place without popping the head up to check if you really should be going in a straight line.
