I have a relative who's really big on the idea of making lists of things that he wants to accomplish. He feels that's very important. Unfortunately, he puts all his effort into making lots of lists, but he rarely accomplishes anything.

That is so true. When that happens we can no longer see the forest from the trees. However, having a plan for success is important.

Every January, I write down what I plan to accomplish for the whole year. I limit my list to only 2 projects. If I accomplish one of them, I have accomplished my goal for that year. Every end of the year, I look back to see what changes I have done for the year. My constant goal, is to create a positive change in my life each year, no matter how small.

My lovely daughter makes long lists - does not accomplish much.
