Personal and Business Organization!

A race car will not run without a checklist!

A race car will not run without a checklist, and neither will you. Organization is key to any successful racing operation. Different racing series travel throughout the country and, in some cases, throughout the world. Logistics of moving people and equipment is the full-time job of someone on the race team. Can you imagine the repercussions of inadvertently leaving the spare engine at the shop in North Carolina while racing in California and needing it? The team would be grounded or scrambling to borrow one. That is a major example, but think of all the tools, nuts, bolts, tape, radios, oil, computers, uniforms, helmets, racing suits and other necessities for running a successful race team. These thousands of pieces of equipment had better be at the track come race weekend. And the only way to guarantee they are is to have a checklist.

Likewise, people wanting to accomplish a goal need a checklist. Have you said to yourself, “There aren’t enough hours in the day.”? Granted, with our careers and our families, we are living busy lives. However, the keys are 1) motivation, 2) prioritization and 3) organization.
· Ask yourself, “What am I truly motivated to do?” Without real motivation, you will be unable to make a change.
· Ask yourself, “Is this life change really important?” It has to be MOST important—prioritized first!
· Ask yourself, “What steps will get me to my goal?” Get organized with a checklist.

Because my goal is better health, my checklist includes
1. Eat a healthy breakfast.
2. Walk for 20 minutes during lunch.
3. After work spend an hour at the gym.
I check off each item as I complete it to give me a continual feeling of accomplishment. You can do the same. Make your checklist TODAY!
