Leap List

Yes, thank you Bachelor for inspiring this post. Before last night's episode, I had never heard of a "leap list." Sure, we've all heard of a bucket list and resolutions, but when I looked into it a little bit more, I was pretty intrigued.

Making New Year’s resolutions is a slippery slope because they aren’t often written as goals with concrete steps to take that will insure you reach them. Instead, they are often broad and with just a few set backs can feel insurmountable. Things like organize my house (yes even that statement makes me nervous!) or lose 20 pounds ~ no strategy, steps, or deadlines, just a hopeful statement that you’ll make it happen. So this year instead of making bucket list or New Year’s Resolutions that won’t stick without a plan, its time to make a Leap List.

I was really excited to learn about the Leap List because it is designed to help you focus on your dreams, be mindful of the milestones, and get out in front of any road blocks to take steps to make your goals a reality while living a lifestyle you truly love.

1. Its all about choosing the next big milestone in your life. Whether its having kids, getting married, or buying a home, it works for us all. If you are older, you are working on sending your kids to college, buying a vacation home at a bargain price, maybe you are retiring, or moving to southern california to start a new career with Honda ~ it happens.

2. Choose 10 items that you really want to accomplish BEFORE you reach that milestone. So it can be little things or big things. Every day things that don’t actually happen every day, like landscaping yard, the garage, taking all that junk in the garage to the recycling center, taking the dogs to get professionally groomed every once in awhile, or going on that trek to Mammoth.

3. Then get social. Sign onto Facebook to connect and there you can share and save your Leap List with your friends and family on your profile page and your news feed. You can also rally your community to work on their own list and learn more about how they can live the lifestyle that truly fits their goals.

It’s just that simple. The wonderful thing about a Leap List concept is you can make as many as you want, each with its own focus. Think about that “Organize My House” goal ~ what 10 things can you do to make that happen NOW? What’s stopping you?

Leap!
