Here's a game-changing productivity strategy that'll revolutionize how you crush your goals - and survive the holiday season with your sanity intact.
Traditional unending to-do lists are emotional vampires, becoming low-key toxic during the holidays.
Enter: The To-Be List
Think of a to-be list as your personal career and holiday survival manifesto - a mindset blueprint that sets you up for success before you even open your laptop or wrap a single present.
What This Looks Like in Real Life
Instead of:
Buy 15 gifts
Plan holiday party menu
Finish Q4 work projects
Send out 50 holiday cards
You write:
Be focused
Be graceful
Be financially intentional
Be joyful
The Financial Wellness Connection
Your mindset directly impacts your financial outcomes. When you show up as "financially intentional", you're more likely to:
Stick to your holiday budget
Avoid impulse gift purchases
Protect your emergency fund
Create meaningful connections without breaking the bank
This isn't about toxic productivity. It's about intentional living during the most wonderful (and potentially stressful) time of the year. Your to-be list is your personal brand's daily manifesto - a reminder that success is about who you are, not just what you accomplish.
Consider writing your To-Do lists at the end of the work day, as part of prep/organization for the coming day, and the To-Be lists first thing in the morning, as part of a mindset calibration.
