TOP IDEA: Sadya Siddiqui Shakespeare & Gen Y: instead of having a TO DO LIST , maybe its time we had a TO BE LIST. my theory is that if i cannot match each item on my to-do list with my to-be list , then something on each list is either redundant or missing. For example: To do list item: send cv to 2 recruiters...corresponds with....To be list item: to be part of a better work environment. To be or not to be that, indeed, is the question- Shakespeare its seems was a personal development guru of his time.

It almost sounds like you're taking your long term goals "to be" and putting them next to your 'to do' list, which will always reinforce you to DO them! There's definitely more motivation. I learned something similar in one of mt psych classes in college called the antecedent approach. I don't remember the exact definition (and too lazy to look it up right now), but an example would be if you want to lose weight...put a picture of yourself on the fridge from when you were skinny. Every time you go to open the friends it reminds you of the long term (what you're trying to be) and decreases the behaviour of overeating (in this example). Love this; definitely going to blog about it / link back to you on it.

One of the concepts that we try to drive home when working with executives is that "All Actions Matter" everything that happens within their company big or small must support their vision mission and goals. If they don't then there is a gap or a disconnect. Two Thumbs Up!

Bryon Ownby: Good thought @Sadya. I have never thought of Shakespeare in this context of keeping one's vision and actions in line.

@David- glad that it resonated with u
@Bryon- "the fault dear brutus lies not in stars but in ourselves, that we are underlyings" yup Shakespeare rocked in personal development. he was probably the Dr. Phil of his generation

Just write it up, somewhere around 300-500 words, with a link to a Flikr Creative Commons picture to go with. You know my style, so I don't have to worry about that. :) This is a good idea that deserves as big an audience as it can get!

I think it gives more purpose to the list and makes you more result oriented with the mentality that you are improving and getting better every day. Great idea
