A DAILY DOSE OF: WHAT HAS YOUR STRUGGLE TAUGHT YOU?!!!

I hate being confounded by a limiting structure. It feels like it threatens my sense of individually freedom. However what I'm am finding is that THE RIGHT STRUCTURE CAN E N A B L E OUR CREATIVE IDEAS to actually happen and SUCCESSFULLY make a difference.

Exercise:

Take an easy task you are know that you CAN do.

Write a detailed list of what you need to do from start to finish. (I have a hard time making the list in sequential order. So far the mistakes I make are my best teachers). Then like a shopping list, cross off every detail you've done.

Crossing off each detail on the list is so often that it doesn't allow me to fall in the quick sand and sink somewhere between the steps to the finish line. It keeps me on task. It feels great to keep crossing stuff of the list-even with a task or project you already know by heart what to do!

WHAT IS Y O U R EXPERIENCE WITH THIS SORT OF THING?
