Prioritize Your To-Do List

Last week I did quite a bit of talking about the Law of Attraction and the power of positive thinking. Ironically, do you want to guess what the first thing I saw when I logged into my Twitter account this morning was? A quote that had several twists and turns but basically boiled down to the fact that nothing should be on your to-do list unless you truly believe you have the power to achieve it.

What a way to start a Monday! If you're like me, your to-do list is about fifteen miles long every Monday. Isn't it depressing to start the week KNOWING that you're never going to be able to accomplish everything you have to do? You're basically admitting that you're going to be spending the rest of your week playing catch-up! Since the purpose of Prosperity is to get ahead, not behind, I want to tlak for a minute on the importance of prioritizng your to-do list.

Yes, you have a lot to do in a day, but think about it. Is everything equally important, or are there some things that could be bumped back to later in the week without hurting anything? For example, my to-do list on Monday includes not only what I need to do for my financial prosperity but also such key items as wiping out my refrigerator, cleaning my bathrooms and remembering to call my mother. This takes up hours of my day, and let's face it-none of it HAS to be done on Monday. I could just as easily do it on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, when my list of things to do is much, much shorter, and everyone would be a lot happier.

So when you sit down to make your to-do list, put the most important thing on the top of your list and take off anything that can wait. It will look just as pretty on tomorrow's to-do list, and you'll start your day with a LOT less stress.

And isn't that what prosperity really means?
