When I am "stressed," it tends to boil down to the fact that I have too much to do, in a too little amount of time that I have allocated myself.

Which then forces me to prioritize, say NO to things, and let some things fall through the cracks.

As a competitive person, and someone who likes to do it all, that is never a good feeling.

Yet, I have learned to be grateful that I have a lot going on, rather than the opposite way around.

I've also grown into realizing what I can control and what I cannot.

At the end of the day, all I can do is look back at myself and ask "did I give it my all?"

... to say yes to the above I have to define what "all" is for myself.

Here is where you come in!

Because this isn't about my all, it is about yours.

LIST OUT WHAT WOULD MAKE TODAY A "SUCCESSFUL DAY."

And today's success is determined by you giving all your energy to this list you are about to make.

Need help?

Here is an old list of mine.

-Meditate

-Write morning email newsletter

-Get my Bloodwork done

-Get Photos of our MSW Bloodwork Models

-B-roll health podcast

-Record a podcast

-Client call

-Upload IGTV

-Record podcast introu / outro

-Run/Lift

-Spend time with Erin

I have found that writing simple lists like this, they force me to look at whether I am spending my days in the way they need to be spent to achieve the future I wish to live in.

And I wholeheartedly believe a simple approach like this can help you as well!

Set your list today, and go attack it!

p.s. I am grateful for the time I got to spend with these two humans over the weekend. Moments like these remind me of how little we actually need in life to be happy.
