Simple Daily Reminders to Self

 

It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

-  Robert Goddard

 

After college, I spent almost 2 years training as a naval aviator.   An important element of that training was the use of checklists in the learning and refresher process.   Checklist utilization remains an important part of my business life.   It is always a good idea to have a helpful checklist for daily reminders of improvements for your business or your personal life.  

 

I keep a stack of 10 or so checklists that I rotate and update occasionally.  I pull out one checklist to read and contemplate for five minutes as a way to start each day. A 5 minute review of the checklist puts my thinking in the right frame of mind. Here is one checklist example on simple reminders to improve the odds of success in anything that I or my team may be doing:

 

Sharing … is caring

 

Imagination and curiosity … are your best assets

 

Smiles … matter

 

Strangers … are friends in waiting

 

You … are the master of your destiny

 

Community … over audiences

 

Be … nothing less than remarkable

 

Play … is the work

 

Defeat … your doubts

 

Make you … and the team matter

 

Remember … don’t let what you know limit what you imagine.

 

Could this help you start your day?

Do you have suggestions to add to the list?

Be sure and walk the talk on these!
