We are on the family trip of a lifetime!! For the next week, we will be taking a car trip across multiple states. The day before we were set to leave, I felt unprepared for the journey. We had yet to pack and it was getting late. I then remembered the power of a list.
So, I hopped on over to one of my favorite blogs and printed out Simple Mom’s packing list. I finished our packing in an hour and a half. I felt confident we had everything for our trip. Without that list, I would have been lost.
By trial and error, I’ve learned that list making, planning and goal setting enables me to do things simpler, quicker and with greater peace. I would have been spinning my wheels for hours without my list.
This concept applies to our lives as well. We have a limited amount of time on earth. Without a set plan, we can spin our wheels for years on fruitless pursuits. Decades can be wasted and purposes can be left unfulfilled without our plan.
Questions for You: Do you like to make lists? What would you like to accomplish in your lifetime? Have you put it on a list?
