Powerful women make powerful lists.
We took a look at creating Bucket Lists, which is great practice to set and track long-term and lifelong goals. Since we've got a whole lifetime ahead of ourselves, let's also take a look at other ways to break down goals into daily lists. These checklists can be very inspirational in a tangible way - and keep us on our toes constantly!
Here's a quick glance at my Short Term Goals List. Take a look and think about your short term goals, which can be achieved in a short span of time (like 1 day or up to 12 months).
How can breaking down goals into action items help shift your life into high-happiness gear?
