What I started doing was doing one thing on the list when I would get home from work. If you keep writing what you didn’t do on the next to do list, it should help move the needle.
Only put down things that are priorities for that day. Don’t list things that are weighed with guilt. If it’s necessary to write them down I keep a separate go-to list (a hopper) that I can refer to the morning when I’m making my to-do list. Then I take on only the items that I can comfortably fit in.
I have two suggestions. First, decide the ONE thing you want to do today. You won’t get to sleep if you do not complete it. It must be one, not two or three becouse you think that "just one is too easy". Second, it must be VERY SPECIFIC, like "study math for 45 minutes straight" or "running for 10 minutes" or "start baking the strawberry cake for Mary birthday at 5:00pm". Avoid tasks like "eat healty" or "be good to others" becouse they are too vague. After you manage to follow these 2 rules, you can add more tasks to your list. Then I suggest to organize them by priority :)
I actually dont know, I always do my to do list impossible and try to do it than make it possible. Because when it is possible My mind always thinks that I have time and I am gonna do it later and in the end I dont do it. And when I dont have a plan I cannot start a Day. I cannot even wake up. So I need to do an Impossible to Do list and I am living for the day when I am gonna meet the end of that.
Keep it simple to start with and increase it daily making sure your todo list contains one form of something you like doing like your hobby for me this is crochet dont overload your to do list with mindless tasks you know you cant achieve because you set yourself upto fail
I would try and make sure that I begin with a smaller schedule so naturally you’ll want to take on more goals as time progresses. Beginning trying to do everything is tiring and is going to make you want to stop from the start. Take some time and find a schedule that does not take all of your time.
Give yourself credit for the little things. Psychologically, it’ll boost your drive to tackle more intricate or time-consuming tasks over time.
I like to get up early so that helps me tackle my list. I always believe if you track something, it will get better. Just do your best. Everyday we have obstacles, just prioritize and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get it all done. Tomorrow is a new day.
Focus on your top three priorities for the day. If you have extra time left over, you can do some of the tasks that were not your top priority.
Consider minimizing. When I first got the app I wanted to add in all of the needed tasks of the day. I realized that my patterns vary from day to day. This app promotes permanent change and habit making so each activity should be a commitment. Before committing contemplate each item and assess if it something attainable daily(harder then it sounds) think about why this habit is important to be part of your daily routines. Adding a bunch of habits simultaneously can decrease success rate so start small. Consider revising your routines often to promote success towards completing your golden triangle.
