Where Your To-Do List Trips You Up
Text your thoughts and questions!
Are you constantly battling a massive to-do list that leaves you feeling guilty and behind before you even start? What's meant to be a helpful tool for productivity often becomes a major source of stress and overwhelm. The reason? You’re working from the wrong list. This week, episode 289 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about where your to-do list trips you up!
In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m unpacking why your brain dump list is not your to-do list (and how viewing it as such is sabotaging your success) and sharing actionable steps you can take right now to transform your chaotic list into a focused guide that works for you.
I cover the following topics:
- Why the traditional to-do list leads to analysis paralysis and stress.
- Why starting with a Guided Mind Sweep to get everything out of your head is essential, though not enough.
- How to avoid the task list pitfalls with the 4Ds Framework for task processing: Delete, Delegate, Delay and Do.
It’s time to take back control. Stop letting your overflowing list be the boss! True productivity isn't about doing more, it’s about doing what matters most with clarity.
