To do lists help me to keep my life organised, and helps me to keep track of my habits. Even if I dont have any 'tasks' to do, i still write down what I do during the day like work out or defrost meat or set the alarm
I have not... maybe I need to? On the weekends for example, I try to make my ToDo List more simple... but it invariably becomes more complicated and busy. So that forces me to try to make my To Do List even more simple on a “day off.”
Yes definitely! I find that I need unstructured time in my life to be able to relax and not go crazy worrying about all the things I need to do. As a recovering perfectionist, it’s hugely important to me to give myself time free of measurable goals, like a to-do list. It just makes me feel lighter and helps me let go.
As for myself it would depend on the to do list. The water, exercise walk, tidy up etc. I continue every day, but I feel the work part I would try to takeoff on certain days to give myself a break
I persoanlly choose not to take a day off from the to-do list as much as I can. That is because I wanna build these habits for good, I also do not have a hard time performing these habits every single day because they are not too hard for me. That is why it’s important to choose habits that won’t wear you off easily, baby steps is always the best way to go. The only time I take a day off is when I’m fasting (I’m a Muslim). I skip the great breakfast and drinking water parts because I fast for a couple of weeks a year but other than that I choose to carry on with my habits for as long as I can. You should too, try to stick to your habits as much as I can. It will build permanent habits for you. Also, try to choose easy habits for yourself so it’s easier to stick with them on the long-run.
Yes! I definitely try to have one day each week (usually Saturday or Sunday) where I don’t workout (to give my body rest) and don’t study (to give my brain rest). I think it helps to recharge and rejuvenate you.
I don’t because I’m afraid that I will keep taking days off. I think until I am solid with food habits that I should not do that. I make too many mistakes to do it deliberately.
Honestly, I don’t. Even when I wake up late and feel sluggish, once I get through my morning routine, I feel better equipped to take on the day.
If someone takes a Day off from to-do list, maybe, this person is in need with rest. Or this person don’t like systems and want to feel spontaneous life.
I create a to-do list everyday. However I adjust the content or length on weekends or the occasional weekday to include free time to explore or decompress.
