How To Get What You Want

Hiya,

Bold title!

I did this little exercise the other day and found it quite revealing.
I decided to list all the things I like to do - all of them.
Then I marked them 1 - 10, 1 being I really didn't like it or found it boring, 10 being it's the best thing to do in the world. (OK - keep it clean!)
After looking at the list and scores I then created another column called "If I had more time". Under that I rescored everything on the list eg: originally I had Playing guitar scored as 4, but in the "If I had more time" column I scored it 6 because I'd like to do more of it if I could. If I had time to take lessons and get better I'd enjoy it more.

So what's the point I hear you ask?

The point is, after looking at both columns I could see what I liked doing most, and more importantly what I was doing most of but NOT enjoying. Now using this list I can make a more informed decision as to how I'd like to spend my spare time.

Below is a list of some of the things that might appear on your own list if you decide to make one - just to get you started.
Would love to hear how you got on with it.

Here you go:
Writing
Playing an instrument
Socialising
Walking the dog
Playing with the kids
Working
Blogging
Tweeting
Reading
Dancing
Inventing stuff
Charity work
Teaching
Yoga
Painting
Travelling
Cooking
Sleeping
Hobbies
etc.


As with all things - if you feel inspired by this idea...do something, take action, make a change - TODAY!

for now

Be Inspired
