Exmo is a word that I like to use for our new year’s resolution for 2018. I like to take this as a challenge to myself to write down three things that I have done so I can do them in 2018.
I used to use an exmo as a resolution for myself. It was basically a list of things that I had to do in 2018 to show that I had stopped using my phones or being unresponsive to everything around me (which is part of the reason I started my own business). When I got into the habit of writing down the things that I had to do, I found that I had actually started doing them a lot earlier than I thought. I had just been too lazy to do them.
A lot of people would probably say, “Wow, I didn’t do them in 2018, but this is what I did,” but there are other things that I have done that are not on my list, and I could also say, “That’s the way I’ve always known better.
In any case, I will admit that I am a lot less in control of what I do than I was before I started writing down my list. I now try to do my list in the morning, write down my list in the evening, and try to do everything in the morning even if it is only a couple of things. I tend to forget when things are on the list, but I do know when I should not do something, and I know when I should take a break.
But sometimes our list is really long, so I do tend to break it into two lists, one for things I think I should have done and the other for things I should have not done. When I go through the list and find that I need to go through it again, I just do it again.
I can’t say I have a strict rule about this, but I do tend to skip many things on the list if I’m really trying to complete it, so I might try something and then forget that I did it.
In my personal experience, I’m actually a lot pickier about things I don’t think I will get to. It’s kind of like my philosophy of life: I try not to “do lots of things” and wait to “do only the things I can’t do.” In other words, I try to go through the list and figure out what I can and can’t do.
If you are a person who has trouble with the idea of “should I do this?” then I really do believe you should do it, but I would urge you to go back and read the list again, even if you did forget to complete it. It is a list that will help you in your quest to make the most of your life.
In other words, you will go through the list and make sure to make sure the lists are well written. This includes your book, your movie, and your new book. The list is much longer than it should be, but I think it is worth it.
The list is long. Some of the lists are even longer than needed. It is best to write them down and then read them back when you finish them.
