A friend of mine is a business coach. And she shows her clients the value of a to do list. Plus, she helps them implement it into their business. And then, she even helps them build a system to automate much of it.
It’s pretty cool. And I’ve seen her help a lot of business owners with her system.
But there are many more people who only think they create to do lists.
But they make busy work instead. And that can lead to a meaningless life when left unchecked. Way back when, I wrote lyrics to a song I never recorded. And the words talk about the damage that busy work can do to your life. Because that kind of work can distract you from what’s truly important.
I hope this isn’t you.
I’ve Got Things To Do
I wouldn’t mind stopping all of the wars.
I’d be a diplomat,
If I could know for sure in my heart
That it was simple as that.
But peace will have to wait.
I can’t just change my life around.
I’m in the middle of something
That has me helplessly bound.
I’ve got things to do.
I’ve got places to go.
And I’ve got people to see
And savings to grow.
So, though I don’t know how to see this through,
I know for sure I’ve got things to do.
I wouldn’t mind spreading love in the world.
I’d work it every day.
I know that someone’s life can be changed.
When you give love away,
But love will have to wait;
We’re gonna have to hold that thought.
I’m on a merciless mission.
And though it hurts a lot…
I’ve got things to do.
I’ve got places to go.
And I’ve got people to see
And futures to grow.
So, though I don’t know how to see this through,
I know for sure I’ve got things to do.
I’m sure someone will come along
Who could easily fit the bill.
And when they do, I’ll lend my support,
If I can ever get over this hill.
I’ve got things to do.
I’ve got places to go.
And I’ve got people to see
And dreams to grow.
So, though I don’t know how to see this through,
I know for sure I’ve got things to do.
