info_outlineAchievers, do you love the feeling of checking off your to-do list? In fact, you might even put things on your to-do list that you’ve already done to then check them off. You celebrate how you are maximizing every waking moment.
Achievers are often the person who gets things done so you feel the constant itch to be productive all the time and at the beck and call of others. Yet, what keeps achievers awake at night is thinking of the really important things that they still haven’t done that matter to them. Their next career move, the next big work idea, their families, developing their people and making the plan for what’s next.
So they tackle the next day with renewed vigor, thinking “if I just get through the to-do list, I’ll have time to figure out how to have more time to do what matters and to make space for deep thinking and work.”
