Life is filled with distractions.

Lists
When we allow these distractions to dictate our day, we start to feel defeated. We make list after list with all the intentions in the world to get this list chunked down, checked off, and completed, yet instead of checking things off we simply begin to add more. This causes us to go into overwhelm which is when nothing gets done. Now we simply throw darts at the list, tear it up, or throw it in the trash.
Are you done with lists? Yes, they can serve the purpose to keep us on track, but many find that these lists often cause more stress than relief. Maybe it’s not necessarily the list but the number of items on the list. Let’s look at it differently. Instead of having one list, you can break it down into categories.
Personal Goals
Business Goals
School projects
Bucket list
Basing your groupings on the category of activity can determine the amount of time needed to check off an item on these lists. For example, a Bucket list may take time to prepare or maybe an open opportunity for accomplishment. School projects would have set deadlines. When working to check things off your list, you want to be real with yourself and your time, and the energy you feel you have now. Given this, you want to ask yourself the following questions for each item on your list:
How long with this take to complete?
Does it have to be done today/this week/this month? (Be honest with your time based on what you have to get done on any given day.)
Do I have all the things I need in place to get this done?
If not, what do I need so that I can complete this?
What’s the most important item on this list that I want to get done?
Am I in the best place energetically, emotionally, or mentally to handle the task?
Now with anything, our mind can handle three things at any given time. With this said, tackle the three top items across your list(s) that you can get done today.
Once these top items are completed, you can move to the next three, and so on. Granted you may find things you want to add to a list so that you don’t forget about them, but I recommend you add this to the bottom of that list and reprioritize your list accordingly.
Here’s the key: reward yourself each time you’ve crossed off 3 items. Whatever that reward looks like to you.
Spa day
Self-care (massage, energy medicine session, reading a book, etc.)
Pedicure
Ice cream cone
One-hour break
Walk around the block
This will depend on you of course, but make it a reward that makes you smile or feel good all over.
I realize that life will get in the way of your list progress, but instead of going into overwhelm take a deep breath knowing that you got at least one thing done at any given time.
Here’s to the success of getting your list(s) checked off and completed.
