Hump Day Helpers

If someone said "name 5 things you want to do over the next 12 months"....would you be able to tell them? Do you have things you want to do? I'm sure we all do.  I spend the majority of my time planning my boys schedule, looking for enriching activities (and sporting activities) and making sure they are where they need to be.  We spend so much time doing for others and planning our families schedule---we rarely plan our schedule or time for ourselves.   I finally came to the conclusion, I'm in charge of the scheduling, so why aren't I scheduling activities for myself--My kids and husband aren't going to schedule activities for me.  I recently started looking into activities that I might enjoy and started matching up my activity dates with my boys activity dates--if there is no conflict--I'm scheduling the activity for myself.   I also started becoming more diligent with what I am interested in and acting upon it.  I looked back over several of my "lists" and noticed only a few things were checked off.  I am now looking at my "lists" with a new approach---write it down and schedule it.  The scheduling it part is the most important because otherwise it just sits there on the list and the list becomes a "wish list".   I believe everyone should have a wish list, but along with the wish list, you should have a Hit List.  The hit list is your target list with realistic timeframes or dates.  The Hit List will be the spring-board to checking things off your list.   Ready, Set Go!!!!--start your Hit List... share it if you like....(plus, when you put it out there...you have to do it--people are watching...you never know who you might inspire.)
