In the July 2009 issue of Prevention magazine in the article “Health Lesson Froms Your To-Do List” author Nancy Kalish indicates that research shows that list makers are healthier and happier.
I have always been a proponent of lists. I have suggested list making as a tool for assessment and success. It is also my opinion that keeping a master list is a way to de-clutter your mind. Read more about to-do lists in my blog: http://clutterbustingcoach.com/2008/05/24/conquering-chaos-your-to-do-list/
The author of this article lists seven ways that lists help you and I couldn‘t agree more. Lists help you:
1. Gain control
2. Maximize brainpower
3. Make tough decisions
4. Beat a slump
5. Find motivation
6. Achieve balance
7. Feel joy
A list can be a valuable tool for all areas of your life…what’s on your list?

Do you feel like you are stuck in a routine? Are you feeling stagnant?
Maybe modifying your perception about your daily tasks can help you realize how exciting your life really is…no two seconds in your life are the same. Today is slightly different from yesterday. You might feel that your schedule is the same, the people you interact with are the same and the tasks you complete are the same. Yet, if you take notice you just may realize that even your everyday tasks are filled with the new and extraordinary.
One of the constants in life is change…so look at your routines as not being on a fixed path. View them as having variety and the ordinary will feel more exciting. Realize that you have freedom on how you look at your daily tasks and choose to be curious and excited…you will be astonished about the change in your energy level. What wonderful, extraordinary thing will you experience today?
