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?

Most of us who have experienced the snow and cold of this winter are definitely ready for the change to spring.
But are you ready to make a long-term change in your habits?
Studies have shown change happens in stages: thinking about change, planning change, making change and maintaining change.
Acknowledging where you are in the process can help you move on to the next phase through goal setting and action planning. Making a life-long change takes time and some effort. It also takes consistent daily practice besides commitment, challenge and control.
So determine what stage of change you are in, determine the actions you need to take and do it. You will be amazed at your progress.
If you are serious about making long-lasting change in your life, working with a coach can make a difference. For a free 30-minute sample session contact me.
