To-do lists are incredible. And when you prioritize or order them with the hardest tasks first; they’re even more powerful.
Little are any of us told, though, that they are most effective when they don’t end.
When we finish a to-do list, our brain ignites and we give it the perfect excuse to either wait until something is pressing or worry about all that we should be doing. (Waiting and worrying is a shameful act, btw.)
Better each day to add to the list up to the equal amount of items you were able to cross off the list.
Two amazing things will happen.
You’ll build momentum more than you have before, ultimately making the starting of tasks easier and easier.
You’ll feel more fulfilled than you have before, seeing just how much you’re capable of accomplishing. After all, a growing list of 30 is no doubt going to make you feel better about your contribution than a small list of 5 that you toss and forget, only to start a new list of 5 a week from now.
So go ahead and keep the list running.
Stay Positive & Laundry Might Be Done, But There’s More Worth Doing
