Here’s a new format to use for your to-do list. It’s a game changer.
[Task] so that [someone] [benefit]
Finish that project brief so that the studio artist can flex her creative muscles on the work.
Clean the main floor of the house so that my partner feels less stressed.
Adding a person and how completing the task helps them changes the entire energy of a to-do list.
Everything becomes an act of generosity, not just a task.
Helping someone else thrive feels a lot better than checking a box, anyway–but this way, you can do both.
Stay Positive & Check, Check, Check
