How does it benefit you?
By taking time to audit your current environment it can allow you to set yourself up for success.
Or auditing our daily lives as we have a natural tendency to fill our daily lives with many “little rocks,” which ultimately prevent us from giving attention to the important things that we value and need to reach our goals and fulfil our ideals.
By putting in the larger rocks before the others, we can make sure that our lives contain what is important to us and our time and energy are optimally utilized.
And by having someone or some group to be accountable to you increase your chances of success to 95%!
Audit Exercise:
Big Rocks & Little Rocks
Instructions:
The concept is that one can only fill a container optimally by placing the big rocks first, then the smaller rocks, pebbles, and, finally, sand. These represent the values and activities of decreasing importance in your life.
Start by writing down five things you spend a lot of time on that are not among your top priorities. Label the smaller stones in the container accordingly.
Now, write down your top three priorities in life. Label the big stones.
Keeping in mind that your top priorities also must receive the most quality time and energy, ask yourself, what needs to change? Write your thoughts down in the space provided.
Next, are there any obstacles preventing you from making these changes to redirect more time and energy from the less important to your top priorities?
Finally, considering the changes you need to make and the obstacles to address, write down at least three specific action steps that you can start taking right now to give you top priorities more time and energy.

Accountability Exercise:
To-Be List
Instructions:
Start by making a list of all the qualities you want to be or become in
the next year. For example, “I want to be healthy.” Or, “I want to be
peaceful,” “I want to be motivated,” and “I want to be focused.”
Then, ask yourself what you need to do to become these qualities.
So, take your “be” statements and make it actionable.
For instance, assign “I will exercise three time a week in the gym” to
“I want to be healthy.” And, “I will avoid multitasking” to “I want to
be focused.” “I will meditate for 10 minutes every day” to “I want to
be peaceful,” and “I will use positive affirmations daily” to “I want to
be motivated.”
To help you create your to-be list, you also may ask yourself the
following questions as guidance.
• What life choices and changes do I need to be more
authentic?
• What is holding me back from living my values?
• What is one thing I can do in the next day that will have the
most positive impact on my life?
