Daily Accomplishments

Do you ever get to the end of the day and wonder why you didn’t accomplish more? 

Instead of thinking about those things you didn’t do, try this – at the end of the workday, write down at least one thing that you did that day that helps you progress in even the smallest way. Focusing on your small “wins” will make you feel happier and will naturally shift your mindset. So whether you finally send that email that you have been putting off, or you call a friend you’ve been wanting to talk to or you finish a big work project, be sure to acknowledge your effort before moving on to the next task. Then, notice if this changes the way you start thinking about yourself and your meaningful progress and purpose.

To take this one step further, I am experimenting with keeping a 3-ring binder with loose leaf paper and 3 tabs:  

GRATITUDE(S) - I list 3-5 a day

INTENTION(S) - Today I plan to focus on…. 

ACCOMPLISHMENT(S) – This is what I did today…. 

If you try this or if you already do something that works for you, I’d love to hear about it.
