Baby boomers went for to-do lists. 

Gen Xers for bucket lists.

Millennials are now embracing dream boards.

Boards that are assembled the way Carrie Mathison on Homeland slapped visual pictures of terrorists on her wall.

Except dream boards are about visualizing goals and passions and finding a way to accomplish them.

Millennials rarely use to-do lists. 

Baby boomers rarely use dream boards.

Gen Xers rarely use either.

Here’s how to get the best from all three:

1. Make a to-do list but then prioritize only the 20% of things that deliver 80% of the accomplishments.  Caution applies.  People who are expert at preparing to-do lists are often no better off than those who do not because they can become slaves to them.
2. Bucket lists work best when they are short – a few things rather than the fantasy of doing everything.  You can always add more.
3. Dream boards are an outstanding way to visualize dreams, hopes and goals and it works best when you can also visualize in your mind’s eye the pictures that are on your dream wall to take with you.

Whatever combination works best, focus 100% attention on fewer things that matter most.
