The Must List

MustDo

“The problem is that those of us who are lucky enough to do work that we love are sometimes cursed with too damn much of it.”

~ Terry Gross

What is on the To-Do List today? Busy, Busy, Busy Work. Certainly important things must get done to both earn an income and move forward in our careers. If we are sick in bed today, will the work be there when we feel healthy enough to get it done? Yes. If we take part in self-care today, might we feel more energized and focused to get it done more quickly? Absolutely! And what about people? Are they on the list?

In the longest study on happiness (75 years), researchers found that those who lived the longest and were the happiest put their energy into RELATIONSHIPS. Think about replacing screen time with people time today. Instead of an email, make a phone call, schedule a lunch, or meet with colleagues in the park and have a walking meeting. Nurture personal interactions. The good life is built with good relationships, so put them on your MUST list!

Make it a strong day!
