I like to use a “iready overload hack” in my home office to create a flow between my work and my personal life. I will write down a list of things I need to do, add them to my to do list, and then write down another list of things I need to do and add them to it. I’ll also do the same with my personal calendar and do the same with my personal planner.
The hack is called iready overload because it creates a flow between your work and your personal life. I’ve noticed over time I’ve been adding items to my to do list and then adding items to my personal to do list. This is the perfect time to add an item to a personal to do list if you’re feeling overwhelmed.
I think what youre aiming for is a system where you have no list of “Things to do” and where you automatically add things to your to do list, but only when you have to do them. In this way, your to do list becomes simply a list of “Things I need to do”. This is the perfect time to add an item to your to do list if youre feeling overwhelmed.
To get a really clear picture of the difference between to do and to do list, remember that a to do list is a list of things you have to do in a specific order. A to do list is a list of things you have to do (whether or not you want to do them). To do means you already have to do them, but often it’s difficult (or outright impossible) to do them without some other task.
The most obvious thing to do with an overwhelming list is to cut it down to a manageable number. I like to keep a to do list about ten items long to be able to take care of those things in one shot, but even smaller lists can be effective. If you have a long to do list, keep it short and sweet. The better your list is, the more likely you are to remember it and act on it.
I like to have a to do list that is about half an hour long.
As of right now, we have no way of knowing which of the items on our list are the most important or which ones can be easily skipped. With that said, I think it’s safe to say that cutting down an overwhelming list is a great place to start.
Sure, I can’t promise that this list is going to be the shortest, but it’s definitely not the longest. As we start cutting down our list, we are going to be putting on the brakes and starting to realize that we can have a lot of fun with the items that we’ve cut. We might even start thinking the other items on our list are more important than the ones that are cut.
Yes, I’m trying to cut these down as quickly as possible as well. I think I have a list way too long and I want to get it down to less than a hundred. But I’m also going to be adding more stuff to the list as I go along, so I want to make sure I’m not missing any of the items that I’ve already included.
Oh yeah, that sounds like Ive already got my list too! I also have a list of things that I want to cut down, but Im using this as an opportunity to add a lot more stuff to the list. I mean I just found a ton of stuff that I dont even need to add, or that I can use to cut down even more items.
