Do You Have A Never-Ending To Do List?
Are your goals nagging at the back of your mind as you rush to meet deadlines?
Do you ever wonder how to turn your intentions into actions that you can get done?
The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology published research showing that, "Difficult goal intentions were completed about 3 times more often when participants had furnished them with implementation intentions."
So, to help you create your own implementation intentions, we're breaking down 3 ways to help you crush your to-do list.
- Create a plan that outlines how you will reach a specific goal.
- Schedule a daily check-in to measure your progress towards completing your goal.
- Ask yourself: Is your to-do list aligned with the plan you created to achieve your goal?
Check your list in regular intervals to keep your efforts focused and on track.
When unexpected tasks, requests or projects come your way, assess them against the plan you created before adding them to the To Do List. This daily workload strategy, will help move you closer towards achieving your goals.
Turning your intentions into actions with a written plan and a workload strategy is a powerful self-regulatory habit to overcoming your obstacles, focusing your actions and achieving your goals.
In terms of productivity, you are delivering the results -- and that is the ultimate success.
