More Focus With A WMM List

By Myriam Callegarin • May 11th, 2009

tea-cupDo you rush all day, with this slight sense of frustration because you never manage to check off all tasks from your to-do list?

If you keep postponing things like your health, your social life, even the yearly check-up for your car, how will this affect the quality of your life (and your savings!) in the long run?

Another way of putting things

WMM stands for “What Matters Most”. Try this out:

  • Write a to-do list, include everything you need or want to do, and that you have been procrastinating
  • Look at your list and identify what feels most important to you
  • On a new sheet, write “What Matters Most To Me” and list all items you identified as being really important for you, by priority

What happened?

Did some supposedly secondary items move straight to the top? Did you delete some others?

Most probably, you just identified some of your real priorities. How does this feel?
Does it make a difference?

Conclusion

You’ve got it all there. It’s just a matter of taking some time to look at things from a different perspective.

Now, which item in your list are you going to take care of first?
