The Ta-da List

A concept that emerged in my consciousness, while working with a client a while ago, was the idea of a Ta-Da! List -- instead of the dreaded To-Do List. Both are about getting things done, but one is heavy with the idea of having to do it, the other is energized with the feeling of getting to do it.

It totally changes the energy...makes actionable items and commitments more fun, engaging, and accessible. If puts the focus more on process engagement rather than being just a boring, or arduous, check list you need to get done.

And, like with any fun performance, you get to say "Ta-da!" afterward.

i gave a short seminar on manifestation energy and managing obstacles at the "No Mind Festival" in Ängsbacka, Sweden.

I had a need for your new word. I struggled. In the end, I used the terms "Agape" and "Eros," which are also constructive, since they're reminiscent of Greek philosophy and a locus of points where leadership, poetry, theater and science cross paths.

Lots of university academics, in the days when I took uni-courses, drew water from that pool of terms. Not sure if they do that anymore. 8-)
