Create, Act, and Celebrate with My Life List
by rahsheenMy Life List is a productivity site that helps you create a list of life-changing goals you want to accomplish. A Life List is almost like your average task list but, instead of trying to remember the milk, you are keeping track of your dreams. This allows you to take your productivity to a new level because you are keeping your overall life goals in mind. When you have a bird’s eye view of the big things you need to get done, it’s easier to figure out the little things you need to take care of to get there.
How It Works
Creating your life list is simple. Just think of your long-term goals. Let your imagination wander. If you need help, My Life List can guide you along with some memory-jogger questions. You can also have a look at the My Life List 90, which is a list of the most significant life experiences based on their research. The service is based on a few simple principles:
- Step 1. Create a Life List of things you’ve always wanted to do
- Step 2. Act on your Life List goals by creating a plan to engage others to support you
- Step 3. Celebrate your accomplishments by sharing stories and pictures to inspire others
You list is broken up into categories like Travel, Personal Development, and Relationships. This makes it easy to see, at a glance, what areas of your life you are focused on working on or what areas you should be working on.
You get points for accomplishing your goals, creating new goals, sharing your success stories with others, and inviting people to track their own goals on the site. Accumulating points allows you to level-up and be recognized for your achievements.
How It Will Help You
I recently talked to you about living for today and playing your position, but this doesn’t mean you don’t need to glance up at the horizon every once in a while. Here is the process that will help you become more productive on a daily basis:
- Create a life list. These are the things you are in this world to accomplish.
- Break down those long-term goals into smaller steps.
- These smaller steps become the items on your daily task list
My Life List will help you take care of the first two items here. You will know your destination, why you chose it, what you need to get there, and what obstacles you may encounter on the way. Step #3 is where your daily task-management system comes into play. You would regularly visit your life list to make sure you’re on track and to make any course corrections.
The community portion is also a huge benefit to you. Sharing your successes and reading about the achievements of others will keep you motivated and remind you that your dreams can become reality. There is an aspect of accountability as well. Once you put your goals up for all to see, they become just a little more real and it’s a lot harder for you to slack off.
Are you tracking your long-term goals? Are the things you accomplish daily contributing to your future success, or do you find yourself just treading water?
