How to end the To Do list overwhelm?

I see way too often how women turn schedules into To Do lists: Endless To Do lists. Finding themselves pulled into multiple directions, everyone wanting a piece of them. They end up never feeling accomplished because there’s still stuff on the list. 
How do you change that?
I’d like to share with you a 4 step method I have developed:
  1. Clarify your priorities, write them down, and use them as a benchmark for scheduling 
  2. Categorise your To Do’s, align them with the priorities 
  3. Identify recurring activities and tasks, assign time (ie how long it takes to complete) and schedule these in (ideally electronically, setting up the recurrence)
  4. Assign time to the other activities and tasks (ie how long it takes to complete) and schedule these in appropriately (i.e. realistically, and allowing for some elbow room for the unexpected)
Invest time in planning your schedule. Knowing that you have planned well will free your mind in the moment, enabling you to be present and focused. This is because you know what’s next and you know that you have set time aside for the really important things. 
When you start planning with your priorities in mind (or even better on paper!), the process will help you ensure that things that make you happy and fulfilled don’t drop off the schedule. You will not forget something crucial. You will not miss what your priority is. 
You may be wondering about two things now:
  • How do I set / clarify my priorities? Everything seems important!
  • What do I do with all the To Do’s that still need to be done but aren’t really aligning with any of my priorities? 
I will share my perspective on these in the next newsletter.
