It's Wednesday, and the week is half over. What have you accomplished? If you're anything like me, this is the point when you think Crap, I meant to do _________ and now it's basically Friday. Ugh. I guess I'll do it next week. Except, as you probably know, next Wednesday rolls around and the same thing happens.
This is not about procrastinating - I'm not a procrastinator so I have no advice for people who struggle with that. When it comes to getting things done, I'm the queen of lists. I'm a do-er, a get-it-done-er.
The problem I have is that my goals don't actually need to get done, and usually get pushed to the side by the things that do. So I'm creating something called "Humpday Commit" (#humpdaycommit) - every Wednesday, I'm making a small commitment that helps me achieve my bigger goals. (Let's take a moment here to recognize that I'm making a commitment to make commitments. Woah. I might have problems.)
This is about setting yourself up to win at life by making regular, incremental commitments to bring about change for yourself. Not just to complete a task and cross it off the list.
I really hope you will join me in this. I'd love to hear your commitments and share in your success, but I'll also need you to hold me accountable!
