The Sticky Note System Part 4: The Personal Development List

Image
By


The Sticky Note System is holistically important, but some sticky notes hold more prominence than others. The Personal Development List is by far the most foundational, the ultimate prerequisite.  Essentially, it is a list of the biggest issues in your life that warrant attention.  This list will be divided into two tiers. 


Items categorized under practice-based personal development fall under the first tier.  This can include spending time in solitude and/or meditating, memorizing scripture, eating healthier, etc.  The second tier lists mindset-based areas of personal development.  Examples of this are humility, respect for parents, and contentment.


This part of the Sticky Note System is incredibly simple.  Look at this list every day and choose one or two things to work on (ideally one from each tier).  Then work on them.

The Sticky Note System Part 1: The To-Do List

By
  I still don't know how my grandparents did it.  They lived most of their lives without sticky notes.   It doesn't make logical sense to me, and it never will.   My grandparents must be superhumans to have survived like this.  If you aren't a superhuman, then we are in the same boat.  We must have sticky notes to function, which is why this is the first article of a 5-part series entitled, "The Sticky Note System".  Throughout this series, I will guide you in developing your very own comprehensive system of 5 different sticky notes.   Unfortunately, the first sticky note you need on your desk is relatively rudimentary and boring.  Nevertheless, it is vital to your work life.  So, without further ado, let's discuss the to-do list.   The to-do list should be a sticky note containing all of your tasks for the day.  I recommend a three-tier system.  The first tier details anything you need to get done that...
