Reassess Your Current Projects Now's a good time to review your
"Projects" list from a more elevated perspective (that is, the stand-
point of your job and goals) and consider whether
you might transfer some of your current commit-
ments to "Someday/Maybe." If on reflection you
realize that an optional project doesn't have a chance
of getting your attention for the next months or
more, move it to this list.
Special Categories of "Someday/Maybe"
More than likely you have some special interests that involve lots
of possible things to do. It can be fun to collect these on lists. For
instance:
- Food—recipes, menus, restaurants, wines
- Children—things to do with them
- Books to read
- CDs to buy
- Videos to buy/rent
- Cultural events to attend
- Gift ideas
- Garden ideas
- Web sites to surf
- Weekend trips to take
- Meeting ideas
- Party ideas
What lies in our
power to do, lies in
our power not
to do.
