reQall and What Really Matters
The other day a statistic jolted me, although it didn't surprise me. We spend most of our lives (80%) focused on things that are not important.
We make to-do lists as if our lives depended upon them. We doggedly work our way through our calendars as if we were planning D-day. (As a working Mom, my lists might save my sanity, but frankly, the things on my lists would not save me or the world.) Some of us gauge our worth by the fullness of our calendars, not by the value of our actions or the important things we can do to make our own lives healthier or more fulfilling.
You've heard us say that reQall is not just a productivity tool, although it can help you be more productive. I love being more productive with reQall. But, there's a side of reQall that can help you transform your life to begin to address the important things you want for your life. You could call it transformational reQall. Transforming begins with intention - you have to want to change your life. Then you need a tool.
That tool is the reQall memory jogger function. I've found a way to use it to help me remember my long-term goals and life aspirations. It's a simple tool. I've set up a second reQall account and directed it to give me regular phone and Yahoo Instant Messenger jogs (you could set it up with AIM too.) These messages are all about the important things of my life; my goals for health and fitness, my intention to be more present in the “now”. There's a regular jog to stop what I am doing and take more time to be with my daughter; reminders to smile more . . . laugh more . . . to do one kind thing each day.
I'm no mystic. I'm probably not going to change the world by using reQall Memory Jogger™, but with it I am changing myself. And just maybe, by using it, I'm changing the lives of those around me simply by getting a little help to transform myself as a person. What about you? We'd love to hear about ways you've found to use reQall to help you get more from your life.
Here's to transformation!
