A Woman To Be

I read somewhere about the idea of a To Be list instead of a To Do list. You list your roles in order of importance and each week list your top 3 goals for each role. Sounds simple enough. I'm not sure if I like the idea particularly, but since I've been feeling overwhelmed by my to do list AND I've been at a loss of what to do with myself during those natural weekend lulls, I think this exercise can't hurt.
