I think it’s safe to say that this year has been a bit of a write off. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been an immense year for growth and for change but not so much for all those plans we made that didn’t come into fruition. It sucks but it is what it is. And the only way to look is forward. And now we’re heading into the final month of the year, it’s the PERFECT time to focus on what’s to come. Today I want to share some lists to make that can help us do that.

If you know me, you know that I’m a hugely organized person. Organization is a huge part of my life and because of my organizational skills, it helps me stay productive and reduce procrastination. And one thing I ALWAYS mention in my posts on productivity is lists. My bae. The list.

I bloody LOVE a list. To-do lists. Shopping lists. Things to watch lists. You name it – I’ve got a list for it. And although some people might think of that as a bit extreme and dare I say it? Boring. It really does help me stay focused and doesn’t only improve my productivity and organization but also my personal growth.
When thinking of lists to make, you really can think outside the box. To-do lists and shopping lists are great for organization. But goals and personal development based lists are wonderful too! Today I want to get into a range of lists to make which will benefit you going forward into December and the New Year.
Because it’s a BUSY time of year. And it can be very stressful if we’re not organized and not prioritizing our self care. There’s lots of things to think about in December and with a New Year approaching so I’m hoping these ideas will help you!
