Today is Fat Tuesday, but I’d rather call it Skinny Tuesday. I’m getting fitter for my June races and trying something new.
It isn’t a new diet or eating plan; it’s a checklist. I watched this Youtube video by Matt D’Avella on the power of checklists, and I thought maybe I could use one to stay on my health plan. It’s been a week now, and remarkably, it’s working.
I shouldn’t be surprised. I love completing lists and checking off each item. I made a list in the Notes app that came with my iPhone. It’s basically a sheet of paper with no bells or whistles. Each day I check off the healthy tasks as I do them. My goal is to finish the list. That seems easier than being on a diet.
The video says that checklists can help with many areas of our lives. I might eventually try it for other goals, but right now, I just want to succeed at this one checklist.
If checklists sound interesting, watch this video. I’ve seen many of Matt’s videos and found his advice helpful.
