I'm so going to incorporate that. I feel like I need to make time to run or work out or hit the gym, but here you bring up an awesome point about taking advantage of even 15 minutes and you're right- you get a burst of inspiration from that sort of activity. Awesome, and you're welcome! I LOVE that part about running! I'm so going to incorporate that.

I think the biggest ah-ha moment for me was not just in making the list, but making a SHORT list that was actually attainable. Big difference for me! I'm so glad this was helpful!

I love that tag-team approach :) What a great way to help each other move along a little more effectively (and it's more fun)! Thanks!

When I'm feeling bogged down I take 15 minutes and run as much as I can in that 15 min. I feel like even if it was only 1.5 miles or maybe a little more if I'm really motivated, it was better than sitting down worrying. And it stimulates all sorts of right brain, left brain stuff to tap into your thinking brain and out of your emotional "I just can't do it all" brain. In 15 minutes I can burn calories, focus my energy, and create a to-do list. It's awesome! Also, thank you so much for putting me on the to-do list! I appreciate your insight and am always open to your ideas no matter how colored with your personality! I know exactly what you mean!

I made my list of three things and started focusing on each one rather that the big picture of what I need to do. Normally I'm really good about making a to-do list each morning, but once I get out of the habit things start snowballing out of control! Great post, and good timing :) I read this post at the perfect time: I've lost some focus at work and therefore gotten behind and overwhelmed, but after reading this reminder to take it one step at a time my perspective shifted.

It's similar to what my Dad once taught me: keep moving by just looking at the few steps in front of you, not all the way up the hill, because that might be too daunting. It's also similar to the fact that one person can make a difference. If everyone does a tiny little bit, we all together can accomplish great things. Great post, Doniree! This is really good advice.

I don't know how I feel about eating elephants. :) But yes, excellent metaphor. I think. Are you running out of things to grill? I don't know how I feel about eating elephants.

What a great perspective and great way to end the day. As someone who tends to look forward more than backwards... what a great reminder to show gratitude. Love it! Ohhhh…. I LIKE that!

At night, I lay in bed and think, "What three things did I accomplish today?" Because, at the end of the day, in order to feel good about myself and my day, I need to have been productive.
