To do lists can become an overwhelmingly long list of to do’s and chores you have to do. They are this long long list of everything you need to remember and that can be a complete turn off. Why should you look at your list if all it does is grow and remind you of everything you need to do? It also doesn’t have the ability to pick and choose what is urgent, what is a priority and what is a good thing you need to do to treat yourself and wind down.

It doesn’t matter how much you think you are one of these people who remembers everything, doesn’t like to be bound by structure or time blocking, how it doesn’t work for you to have these detailed to do list; your brain NEEDS structure.

Learn to love your to-do list.

Seriously.
Make a conscious effort to love your to do lists and the wonderful freeing sensation you get when you have every task you need to do written down in one place. You know, if it is written down, you don’t have to take up valuable thinking space trying to remember them!

Some people think having a to-do list is a huge burden. It is a full list of tasks, and actions you HAVE to do; long overdue projects, mundane household chores that you have to write down otherwise you forget them – yet you still manage to put off.
