To-do’s and to-be’s

Alongside your to-do list, try making a to-be list. the good news is you’re not making your list longer – these are not items you can check off or complete – but the exercise is a reminder that achieving your goals with intention means living up to the values that drive those goals.

Example

Let’s say I want to have a fulfilling relationship. What do I need to do?

  • Plan dates
  • So nice things for my partner
  • Improve my appearance

What do I need to be?

  • More calm
  • More understanding
  • More inquisitive about my partner’s day and feelings.
