287: Why You Never Finish Your To-Do List (and how to fix that)


Listen Later

If your to-do list feels like it never ends, this episode is for you 👀

If you’re crossing off three tasks, adding five more, and ending the day wondering what you even accomplished…you’re not broken, lazy, or “bad” at productivity. You might just be writing your to-do list in a way that sets you up to lose before the day even starts.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why you never finish your to-do list and exactly how to fix it! We’re talking practical, peaceful steps so you can finally create daily to-do lists that help you focus on what matters, without the guilt spiral 🫶

In today’s episode, we chat about:

  • The #1 mistake most people make with their to-do lists
  • Why your list might be overwhelming you instead of helping you
  • How to use my daily planning method to create a doable, peaceful to-do list that actually works

Less spinning your wheels, more ending the day feeling accomplished 📋✨
