I am the kind of person that really thrives on lists. (This probably isn’t surprising if you know me at all.) 

I make lists of tasks every day in Todoist, I keep a list of my goals, and the final type of list I make I can only really classify as “career lists.” They are lists I’ve been keeping for a few years now that are related to my career in one way or another.

  1. Hi, Hailley!
    I’m really loving this blog post. I’m definitely a list girl myself, so I can totally relate: I love keeping track of goals & more, they’ll also give me an overview of how far I’ve come in the future when I look back. I’m also keeping a list of career accomplishments and track my performance review. Something that I haven’t done before (but will start with asap) is a list of job descriptions. I can see this motivating me, helping me grow to achieve new skills, thank you for this idea!

    1. Hey, Natalie! Thank for reading! Good one with keeping track of goals, I keep those in a notebook but I definitely love having them around. Hope keeping a list of job descriptions ends up being helpful for you! :)

  2. I love this so much! I definitely am going to start doing this – I’ve been working to become more career-oriented and thinking about my career aspirationally. How often do you update these? Just as often as you see things? Would love to learn more about your lists in general and how you use them – and also – what apps you use! Thanks!

    1. Hi Melanie, thanks for reading! That’s a really good question. I try to update the career accomplishments list once a month; Performance reviews, people I admire, and companies I admire, as they happen; and for the job descriptions as I see them or if I need to use them for something (recently had to use them for writing my own growth plan) I’ll go digging around a little bit more. I keep all of these in Evernote but in general I use Todoist for to-do lists, absolutely love them! :)

  3. Hey Hailley! Your blogs are amazing to read and understand. I want to start my own blog website, so that I can reach to people. I would love to connect, drop me in an email- binaypatni2015@gmail.com
    If I could be helpful to you any way feel free to connect. I am searching from a mentor for more perspective. I am from Mumbai, India and recently worked as an intern in social media agency firm.
    Best!
